Although construction of the new Butler Transit Authority park and ride lot is complete, work on the building addition is being delayed by material shortages.
According to Executive Director John Paul, the 47 space Park and Ride opened for use by commuters to and from Pittsburgh on January 2nd and “a few” are currently taking advantage of the facility daily.
Work at the Hollywood Drive building including new bus shelters and waiting area is now on schedule for completion in March or April due to delays with items like doors and windows. Paul has also requested that the state pay for painting of the existing hallways and offices.
A total of about $3 million is being spent on this project with 80% of funding coming from the federal government and the other 20% from state and local sources.
