Save the Date: Jan. 19 Special Briefing on Proposed Transit Cuts

In January, the Port Authority will outline a 35% service cut that will be necessary if the agency does not secure additional state funding and significant concessions from its labor union.
 
To help businesses understand the proposal and begin planning on how to cope with these significant changes, the Allegheny Conference and the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership will hold a special information session on Thurs., Jan. 19, at the Omni William Penn in Downtown Pittsburgh (530 William Penn Place).  
 
Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. with the program running from 8:30-9:30 a.m.
 
In addition to learning about the proposed cuts, businesses will gain a better understanding of how a transit cutback of this magnitude might affect their workforce and operations.  
 
Please register for the meeting by emailing events@alleghenyconference.org. We encourage you to pass this invitation along to executives within your organization, as well as to any clients, customers, or other associates who may be interested in this important issue.
 
Thank you,

Lucinda Beattie
VP of Transportation
