No More Funky-Patterned Bus Seats?!

Something about Pittsburgh’s colorful, abstract bus seat prints are so nostalgic — and their designs will soon be relics, too. Pittsburgh Regional Transit is spending $1.3 million to replace its fabric-covered seats with plastic for more durability and cleanliness. [Pittsburgh Union Progress]

Priorities for Innamarato’s Transition Team

It’s been two weeks since Sara Innamorato became Allegheny County’s chief executive elect. Now, her incoming administration is recruiting new leaders through a talent committee, which they say will be the “most inclusive community engagement effort” in county history.
