Pittsburgh Port Auth. – Dodge RAM 3500
Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT, formerly Port Authority of Allegheny County) is the second-largest public transit agency in Pennsylvania and the 20th-largest in the United States. After operating as the Port Authority of Allegheny County for most of its history, the agency rebranded under its current name in June 2022. In 2022, the system had a ridership of 35,976,700.
Yes, the name is a little confusing as Pittsburgh Port Authority (or PRT) is a PORT authority but handling transit public transport. A little history: Pittsburgh Regional Transit was created as the Port Authority of Allegheny County by the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1956 to allow for creation of port facilities in the Pittsburgh area. Three years later, the legislation was amended to allow the Port Authority to acquire privately owned transit companies that served the area. On April 19, 1963, the Board of Allegheny County Commissioners authorized the acquisition of 32 transit companies, including the Pittsburgh Railways Company, which had provided bus and streetcar service to Pittsburgh since January 1902, and an incline plane company, for about $12 million. On March 1, 1964, Port Authority Transit began service.
Port Authority uses many utility vehicles for their operations, however photo references are hard to find, so I am not sure if they are using Dodge RAMs. I did see a F-350 with this color scheme and equipment though, so I decided to use this brilliant truck for it.
Functions as a Road Maintenance vehicle, requires Snowfall DLC.
