PPT & T4APA! Communications Committee

Building the narrative of Transit Justice in our community is a critical part of our work. The Communications Committee hosts monthly virtual working meetings to tell the story of PPT’s campaigns, successes, and struggles. During these meetings, attendees help produce content that communicates our work to the public— including writing blogs, editing videos, creating content for our social media channels, curating photography, and doing graphic design. Since 2025, the Communications Committee has been a joint space for members of Pittsburghers for Public Transit and supporters of [Transit for All PA!](https://www.transitforallpa.org/), the statewide transit campaign that we lead. Supporters of both organizations are welcome at these meetings, and we may work on projects relevant to Allegheny County or elsewhere in Pennsylvania. ### You might be a good fit for the Communications Committee if... - You love writing and/or social media content creation - You have experience with photography, graphic design, or web design ## 2026 Training Series In 2026, our Communications Committee will be conducting a Comms Training Series!
