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 Connections service is provided throughout Allegheny County, seven (7) days
per week between the hours of 6:00 am and 11:00 PM.
Service is provided to destinations in 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 services are provided by a number of companies under contract to ACCESS
Transportation Systems. ACCESS service providers are the companies which own and
operate the vehicles and actually provide the transportation service.
