Downtown Made Easy - The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership

The PDP believes it is vital for
southwestern Pennsylvanians to
have a range of transportation
choices to serve their needs. To
achieve this goal we are working
with a grass-roots organization,
Western Pennsylvanians for
Passenger Rail, to advocate for
increased rail service between
Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. To
learn more about our research
proposal for an affordable
increase in service – On Track to
Accessibility – and to lend your
support, please visit
