City of Pittsburgh seeking public input on transportation vision

The City of Pittsburgh recently launched public engagement efforts to develop a transportation vision plan.

PGH MOBILITY 2070 will establish a framework to guide investment, development, and management in a network of transportation infrastructure, information, and services that could support the city’s needs if its population grows from the current 302,000 residents to 450,000 residents over the next 50 years.

The effort will also result in a two-year action agenda that will direct the activities and investments of the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) and partners in making progress toward the long-range vision.

Public and stakeholder engagement began in May with input work sessions to identify connectivity needs as well as policy priorities to ensure connections promote equity, sustainability, and economic mobility for all.

The 2070 Transportation Vision Plan website provides details about the effort and also includes a survey for residents and an interactive online map through which users can identify mobility needs, trouble spots, and opportunities.

Throughout the summer and fall, DOMI staff will attend community gatherings, festivals, and events to gather input on the plan.
