Digital Bus Stop displays and interactive Kiosk that have improved rider experience on public transportation.
Pittsburgh's Port Authority of Allegheny awarded Connectpoint Inc. an additional contract to continue their partnership in the rail and bus stop improvement program. It is an expansion on the successful implementation of the Digital Bus Stop displays and interactive kiosk that aim to improve rider experience on public transportation.
The technology offers features that allow for accessibility and ease of public transport. The solar-powered displays are easy to read, give real-time departure and schedule information and service alerts.

They install easily and can be retrofitted to existing bus stop displays and managed remotely through CPAM, their content management system. Through the CPAM the system is also able to alert passengers when an emergency arises.
The system is fully integrated to provide travel information to passengers, allowing them to plan out their trips and receive the most up-to-date information.
“Having real-time transit information available to everyone has been a major priority for us, as it improves the lives of our customers who are now able to spend more time doing what they want to do rather than spend time at a bus stop waiting to get there,” said Port Authority CEO Katharine Kelleman.
The Port Authority of Allegheny is the second largest transit system in Pennsylvania and works to improve ridership and passenger experience.
With this launch, RABA is also now live on Cal-ITP Benefits, becoming the ninth transit agency in California to join the platform and the first small transit provider in the state to offer automated, real-time low-income fare eligibility verification through Tap2Ride.
Officials said the investment reflects the agency’s commitment to modernizing operator training while improving safety and operational readiness across the system.
Now in its latest edition, the awards recognize forward-thinking solutions that improve safety, operational efficiency, sustainability, rider experience, and overall system performance.
A 5% rise in deliveries and a surge in zero-emission buses signaled progress in 2025, but high costs, long lead times, and shifting funding priorities continue to cloud the outlook.
The railroad has issued a formal request for proposals to manufacturers for more than 800 new passenger railcars that will serve 14 long-distance routes nationwide.
The delivery marks the first car in a 374‑vehicle order and begins the arrival of a new generation of higher‑capacity, more reliable, and more comfortable trains for one of the country’s busiest commuter rail systems.
Vehicles that improperly use busways and bus lanes, block bus stops, or illegally double-park will receive warning notices in the mail for an initial period of 60 days, followed by summonses thereafter.
The project, finalized on February 12, provides the city with two different configurations of high-definition cameras to outfit 16 buses in the Pretzel City Area Transit fleet.
