Bob Charland's "Inclusionary Zoning" ordinance 2024-1284 would qualify a 1-BR unit set at $1,899 as "affordable" and would qualify the project for automatic approvals, fast-tracking, and density bonuses. THIS RENT IS ALREADY WHAT THE MARKET IS PROVIDING. 🧵

This morning, Pittsburgh Regional Transit formalized its proposals to cut transit service deeply, and raise fares, across Allegheny County without new money from the PA state government. But what does that mean? (1/)

Pittsburgh Regional Transit Pittsburgh Regional Transit has already cut 36% of service in the last 25 years, directly contributing to major losses in ridership - when we know that riders’ top priority for transit is frequency and reliability. (2/)

Pittsburgh Regional Transit Now, after years of fighting for state funding, we have reached the precipice of much worse: the elimination of 41 bus and train routes, and minor-to-major cuts to 54 others. And the cost of this diminished service? At least $3 per ride. (3/)


We can’t despair; we must organize ✊. Riders & workers need YOU to ensure @PASenateDems PA Senate Republicans work with Governor Josh Shapiro - not for the status quo, but for the service riders need for work, health, community. Let’s win: transitforallpa.org/takeaction/ (5/end)
