Auditor General Timothy L. DeFoor today released a performance audit for Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) that showed the authority has corrected all the findings from the last audit and is on a path to improving service for the region.

"One thing became very clear to our auditors - PRT is aware of its future challenges and is using innovative solutions to face them head on," Auditor General DeFoor said. "There are great things happening at PRT, and I want to congratulate leadership for finding ways to address Pittsburgh's changing transit needs. Our auditors recommend PRT continues its work to restore ridership to pre-pandemic levels and focus on maintaining financial stability for the future."

The audit's objectives were to determine the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on PRT's revenues and expenditures and evaluate PRT's strategies and efforts to sustain operations through effective planning, developing policies and implementing procedures to meet its needs.
