The Downtown-Uptown-Oakland BRT Line Earns a New Name: "The University Line"
The University Line encompasses the first and second phases of the BRT Project over the next three years.
June 15, 2023
Following the announcement of Pittsburgh Regional Transit's $150 million grant agreement with the Federal Transit Administration, the Downtown-Uptown-Oakland BRT line will now be named The University Line. This new line is the first under a new level of service called PRTX.
PRTX is the future of high quality, on-street bus rapid transit. Communities with PRTX service can expect the following: high frequency service thanks to transit-only travel lanes, new shelters with amenities like real-time arrival screens, and improved reliability and on-time performance.
While The University Line will be our first PRTX service, it certainly will not be our last.
