MMVTA releases new schedules, fares and programs
Over the past year, the Mid Mon Valley Transit Authority (MMVTA) conducted a comprehensive
system-wide review of all routes, schedules and fares. After considerable public input, the
Board of Directors voted to implement changes at the June public meeting.
“MMVTA has reviewed all routes for productivity, efficiency and cost effectiveness to update
and make improvements to the system. It was a tremendous task and difficult to make changes
that have been in operation for many years but are no longer sound business practices,
efficient or productive for the MMVTA to operate,” said MMVTA Director Valerie Kissell.

MMVTA proposes route and fare changes
The Mid Mon Valley Transit Authority (MMVTA) initiated the “Transit Enhancement Model (TEM) -
Thinking Outside the BUS” earlier this year to address improvements and changes to the Mon
Valley’s transit system. Last week the MMVTA Board of Directors unanimously voted to
release the proposed changes for public comment.
“The wheels of change are truly in motion here at the MMVTA. MMVTA is poised to make
significant system wide changes, possibly the single largest route restructuring since the
Authority was created,” said MMVTA Executive Director Valerie Kissell.

MMVTA responds to the Governor’s special session - Governor Rendell held a special and extraordinary session with the General Assembly on Tuesday, May 4 to address immediate and devastating shortfalls of transportation funding. The failure to implement the tolling measure on Interstate 80 will have a direct effect on both capital and operating programs for public transit agencies across the state. The statewide implications include an immediate $484 million capital shortfall and an operating funding freeze.
“Not only will our future capital needs - including vehicle replacement and facility improvements – be in jeopardy, but our current level of service we provide to our communities will be unsustainable,” said Mid Mon Valley Transit Authority (MMVTA) Executive Director Valerie Kissell.
