What Are Pittsburgh's Park & Ride Lots?

Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) operates or partners on more than 40 park-and-ride lots across Allegheny County, giving commuters a place to leave the car and catch the T light rail, the East, West, or South Busway, or a suburban bus route the rest of the way downtown. Instead of driving — and paying for parking — the whole way, residents in dozens of Pittsburgh-area communities can drive a few minutes to a nearby lot, most of which are free, and let PRT handle the rest.

Many Pittsburgh home buyers specifically search for homes near a park-and-ride lot to shorten their commute, avoid tunnel and Parkway traffic, and cut their monthly parking and gas costs.
