Overview
- Officials detailed a multimodal plan that expands bus and light rail service, launches four Football Flyer routes, and offers a $25 seven‑day transit pass available April 1.
- Road closures will occur in six phases from March 28 through May 10, starting near Acrisure Stadium and expanding to the North Shore and Point State Park during draft days.
- Pittsburgh Regional Transit will run many routes on Saturday schedules Thursday and Friday of draft week and increase light rail service to North Side Station, with waits possible but transit still the fastest option.
- Parking will be scarce and pricey, with private lots asking up to $250 a day, while alternatives include Gateway Clipper river shuttles, the T downtown fare‑free zone, and Rally bus trips from regional pickup points.
- Pittsburgh Public Schools will shift to asynchronous remote learning April 22–24, the city moved curbside yard‑waste pickup to April 18, and crews are removing nearly 50 North Shore trees to make room for infrastructure and safety needs.
