WELCOME TO ACCESS!

ACCESS is a shared-ride, public transportation program sponsored by Port Authority of Allegheny

County. ACCESS is part of Port Authority’s family of services. Port Authority’s bus and light rail

service is accessible to people with a variety of disabilities. All Port Authority buses are equipped with

ramps

and “kneelers” to lower the first step

. Other accommodations such as stop announcements

and easy to read signs make using the bus easier than ever. There are also special fare incentives

for ACCESS riders using Port Authority service.

Make Port Authority’s accessible bus and light rail

service your first transportation choice whenever possible.

ACCESS service is provided throughout Allegheny County, seven (7) days per week between the

hours of 6:00 am and midnight. Before 6:00 am and after midnight, ACCESS ADA service is provided

for trips with origins and destinations within ¾ mile of any Port Authority rail station or non-commuter

bus route operating at that time.

Service is provided to adjoining counties, provided the origin of the trip is within Allegheny County

and the destination is within one and a half miles of the Allegheny County line. ACCESS ADA service

is also provided for trips with origins in Beaver, Washington and Westmoreland Counties within ¾

mile of any Port Authority rail station or non-commuter bus route operating at that time.
