message: Per the recent change for the LRT bridge over the river, the bridge had formerly been called the Panhandle Bridge, but is now officially called the Monongahela River Bridge. See http://pghbridges.com/pittsburghE/0584-4476/panhandle.htm. I hope that the change I instituted is a satisfactory solution... Thanks! ClarkBHM 01:53, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello. I have noticed that this article does not have a map. Doing one for the light rail system would be an interesting idea. MattFisher 19:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are several maps out there, but all of the ones that I've seen are copyrighted and not in the public domain. Are you volunteering? :-) ClarkBHM 19:48, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I have a few maps that I could put up here. If so, let me know.
Also about the Panhandle Bridge thing, I'd like it kept as Panahandle Bridge. The Port Authority has it's light rail schedules, and still calls the bridge "Panhandle Bridge". Miketherailfan 10:46, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And since this is an article about the Port Authority you want to use their wording. I can see the logic in that. I've reworded it to have the Panhandle Bridge be first with a paranthetical reference to the Monongahela River Bridge. Hopefully that will work for both of us. ClarkBHM 16:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Link to PGH Light Rail Map 

message: Wondering what people's opinions would be on creating a separate article for the T with most of the material here on that page, with only a bear bones amount left here.  The trend on Wikipedia seems to be to give fixed-reail networks pages separate from the agencies that operate them.  (See for instance Baltimore Light Rail and Maryland Transit Administration.) --Jfruh (talk) 21:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Port Authority of Allegheny County Logo.jpg

message: The Port of Pittsburgh Commission, an agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, does port development and operations in twelve southwestern Pennsylvania counties. An article on this agency is needed. Starting reference: 
http://www.port.pittsburgh.pa.us/home/index.asp
Allegheny County Port Authority is a transit agency, and despite its name, has nothing to do with port development. Perhaps at its inception it was authorized to do so.--DThomsen8 (talk) 11:28, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:   Port of Pittsburgh Commission is a state agency 

message: I'm looking over the section for the fleet of buses, and think it needs a complete overhaul.
I'm making some attempts on finding appropriate references and switch the bullet list into a properly sorted table (or two).
In addition, I'd like to remove a lot of the trivial entries such as "differences in exhaust pipes", to name at least of a few.
Is anyone else working on something similar to this?  It looks like a lot of sorting work.

message: I removed the Lenzer Coach Lines busses from the Bus Fleet section as the routes they were used on were removed in the early 2010s service cuts, but someone has readded the section. However, I just want to make sure that they haven’t been readded to the PAAC fleet as someone seems like they very much believe they should be kept in the article. Just want to see what the general conclusion is. Bacon BMW (talk) 16:48, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: After some research, the Lenzner Coach Line routes are no longer operated for Port Authority, and therefore the coaches are no longer part of the Port Authority fleet. I don't want to keep undoing people's edits, so please reply if you disagree. Bacon BMW (talk) 23:08, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lenzer Coach Lines routes 

message: The name of the agency was recently changed from "Port Authority of Allegheny County" ("PAAC") to "Pittsburgh Regional Transit" ("PRT").  Technically changing the name of the organization would take an act of the state legislature so the correct way that this should be represented is to keep the title of the page "Pittsburgh Regional Transit" and then in the first sentence say "The Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAAC) doing business as Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT)..." or "The Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAAC) D.B.A. Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT)..." 96.236.214.162 (talk) 14:42, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
