Pittsburgh -Granted through the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER IV, program, the $15 million is to be dedicated to the development of the new East Liberty Transit Center. The project is being pursued in partnership with the Port Authority of Allegheny County and the Mosites Co., along with the URA. The grant will help to leverage city and state fund that will total $34 million dollars for the major infrastructure investment to bring a new, multi-modal transit center that will serve nearly 1,000 daily bus trips, add new pedestrian and bike amenities and help to spur other nearby transit-oriented development. Mayor Luke Ravenstahl expects the new funding and the project it will bring will help to continue the revitalization throughout the core of East Liberty.
