History

In 1959, the Pennsylvania Legislature authorized the consolidation of 33 private transit carriers, many of which were in dire financial straits. By combining fare structures and centralizing operations, Port Authority established the first unified transit system in Allegheny County in March 1964.

In June 2022, Port Authority was rebranded to Pittsburgh Regional Transit.
