New Deal Could Reduce Port Authority Cuts
Sewickley area bus routes are slated to be eliminated under a current cost-cutting plan.
A deal is in the works to avoid drastic cuts to Port Authority service this fall, according to a report by KDKA.
According to the report, negotiations between state, county and union officials are underway to avoid a one-third cut in service——on Sept. 2.
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald told KDKA that if the union, management, and county can come up with about $30 million, Gov. Tom Corbett will match that amount and restore service.
