Dow Jones Description
Port Authority of Allegheny County was created by legislation enacted by the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1956, giving it responsibility for planning and developing port facilities to serve the Pittsburgh area. In1959, the Act of 1956 was amended to permit Port Authority to acquire privately owned transit facilities and to own and operate a public system of mass transit, and in March, 1964 Port Authority exercised its power of eminent domain for the first time and assumed control of the Pittsburgh Railways Company. By authorization of the 1959 legislation, Port Authority in June 1960 engaged the firm of Coverdale & Colpitts to prepare a plan of an integrated system of transit for Allegheny County for use as a basis for acquiring and consolidating the independent transit lines.
