PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced a nearly $150 million grant to Pittsburgh Regional Transit for the new Downtown-Uptown-Oakland bus rapid transit (BRT) line. The $149.9 million reward was funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The new line will provide fast, convenient transit along a heavily congested route from Downtown to Oakland, the FTA said. The new line will include bus-only lanes with traffic lights that will automatically turn green and faster boarding, according to the FTA. A bus will arrive every five minutes during peak periods for 22 hours a day. The FTA said that more than 40,000 people use the current bus options in the communities the BRT will cover per day. The BRT project is projected to cost an estimated $291 million.
