The final draft of PRT's Bus Line Redesign contains a number of changes detrimental to public transit, accessibility, and mobility in Mt. Lebanon. 

1) Loss of Key Shopping and Employment Connections: The 36 route will no longer service the Galleria, shops along Rt. 19 (Trader Joe's), Village Square (Market District), or South Hills Village.

2) Elimination of all service on Bower Hill between Washington and Cochran: While the proposed shift from the 41 to the 35 adds fantastic new direct service to Oakland, the route now turns off of Bower Hill  at Cochran Road, then left onto Cedar Boulevard to reach Washington loop through part of Uptown.  With the additional loss of the 38M, all service on Bower Hill between Cochran and Washington will be removed.   

3) Negative impact on Micro-Mobility Goals: Move Lebo is actively advocating for the Municipality to create a Micro-Mobility loop to connect Uptown, the High School, the Library and Main Park.  As we have seen with recent e-bike issues, dedicated infrastructure is needed for our kids to safely get around without conflicting with pedestrians on our sidewalks.  We feel that running both the new 35 and 36L routes along Cedar Boulevard between Cochran and Washington would have a detrimental impact on this goal.

Automated enforcement makes our streets safer. Automated red light enforcement has been shown to reduce the fatal red light running crash rate by 21%. There are 337 US cities already using automated red light enforcement systems.

While the Mt. Lebanon commission is supportive of implementing Automated Red Light Enforcement, PA Vehicle Code 75 § 3117excludes municipalities in Allegheny County from being authorized to implement ARLE.

The existing code is up for review again in 2027, and PA lawmakers have indicated to Move Lebo their willingness to include Allegheny County in the new code.

Access to transit is critical to making our community more connected, vibrant, and walkable. We’ve frequently heard from our members and through public comments at municipal meetings that access to transit is one of the reasons people choose to move to and stay in Mt. Lebanon.

However, Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) is facing a funding crisis that could lead to huge service cuts across the Pittsburgh region and a fare increase to one of the highest in the country. Click “Learn More” to find out how you can help.

Calling all armchair urbanists! Our Complete Streets Policy requires all transportation modes to be considered during street repaving. We need your feedback on what you’d like to see in your neighborhood.

This hidden gem is in need of some serious TLC. Over the past couple of months, Move Lebo has been working to restore this trail for the community. We have BIG plans and need your help!

Trail cleanup dates coming soon!

Move Lebo volunteers conduct sidewalk cleanups, directed by resident input, to help create safer walking routes and beautify our community. Check the Events page for future cleanups. You can request a cleanup by sending us an email.
