Future PRTX Station Locations for the University Line

Map of current work areas. The green boxes will be PRTX stations.

PRT's contractor began construction activities in May 2025 at locations throughout the Uptown community. Of these locations, five stations will be for buses traveling inbound to Downtown on Fifth Avenue and five stations will be for buses traveling outbound towards Oakland on Forbes Avenue.

When construction for this portion of the University Line is complete, the PRTX stations in Uptown Pittsburgh will include:

Inbound on 5th Avenue going Downtown:

  • SoHo Station - Fifth Avenue and Kirkpatrick Street
  • Jumonville Station – Fifth Avenue and Wynadotte Street
  • Uptown Central Station – Fifth Avenue and Dinwiddie Street

  • Uptown West Station – Fifth Avenue and Washington Place (next to PPG Paints Arena)

Outbound on Forbes Avenue leaving Downtown:

  • Uptown West Station – Forbes Avenue and McAnulty Avenue
  • Pride Street Station – Forbes Avenue and Pride Street
  • Uptown Central Station – Forbes Avenue and Miltenberger Street
  • Jumonville Station – Forbes Avenue and Jumonville Street
  • SoHo Station – Forbes Avenue and Moultrie Street

PRTX stations will have new bus shelters with ADA compliant loading zones and ramps and new and expanded sidewalks. Station amenities will include seating, lighting, next-bus arrival screens, emergency phones, and security cameras. Some stations will have fare vending machines and bicycle racks.

Safety improvements include Intersection improvements with new traffic signals and crosswalks, accessible pedestrian signals, push button audible signal, and illuminated countdown signs.

The Uptown corridor will also benefit from environmental features including new tree plantings and rain gardens.

A new bi-directional bicycle lane will be created on Forbes and Fifth avenues on the opposite side of the bus-only lane.
