Ship of Zion expanding service
Beginning in November, 2006, the Ship of Zion transportation project is
expanding service to the North Side. The SoZ provides free shuttle van rides
to work, job interviews, and training sessions. Present routes go between
Squirrel, Hazelwood, South Side, the Hill District, and now North Side.
SoZ is a faith-based program designed to ease transportation barriers many
residents face in Pittsburgh's job market. Getting to work is a crucial
sticking point for many employees, employers, and job seekers. Riders can
transfer to or from Ship routes connecting with PAT routes to get to their
destinations. Workers and job seekers now have more direct transportation
options, making those of us without our own wheels more able to get to where
we need when we need to. This opens up new job possibilities, as more
potential workplaces are readily accessible from Hazelwood.
Destinations made more accessible by the new North Side route include:
* CleanCare linen service
* Mascaro Construction Company
* Post Office sorting center
* Allegheny General Hospital
* Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
* Pittsburgh Presbytery
* the Stadiums
* PCTV 21
* UPS
* Harbor Green Building
* Community College of Allegheny County
* Bidwell Training Center
