It is said,
"All roads lead to Carnegie." The Borough of Carnegie is conveniently
located within a few short miles of Interstates 79, 279, and 376, and is
the link with communities to the south via Route 50 and the east and
west via Noblestown Road. The Borough is located just six miles from
downtown Pittsburgh offering easy access to all the City has to offer:
Pittsburgh's Cultural District, Heinz Field, PNC Park, and the PPG Paints Arena. |

Carnegie is
also home to the Port Authority of Allegheny County's West Busway,
Carnegie Station Park & Ride. This bus-only highway provides direct transportation to the City of Pittsburgh
and several western suburbs within minutes.
In
addition, the Borough offers many mass transit stops throughout the
Borough offering extensive service to meet the needs of the
municipality. |

If your
travels take you out of town by plane, the Pittsburgh International
Airport is less than 20 minutes away. |

The Borough
of Carnegie is a 1.6 mile walkable community; the most affordable and
equitable transportation system. The Borough is a multi-purpose
municipality offering places of worship, healthcare, banking, retail,
incredible dining, and employment, in addition to a music hall, art
gallery, historical venues, theaters, the Andrew Carnegie Free Library,
parks and recreation including a renowned state of the art skate park. |

Public transportation is a
cornerstone of all thriving metropolitan regions, establishing lifelines for
those who are less fortunate as well as access to jobs, education and
opportunity for people of all backgrounds.

West Busway TOD Plan
University of Pittsburgh Department of Civil
and Environmental Engineering
- Urban Transportation Planning
In April 2012, Pitt Professor Mark Magalotti and his Urban Transportation
Class presented information on behalf of studies completed on the Carnegie
Business District and the impact of Transit Oriented Development. The
purpose of this program was for each student to learn and implement the
urban transportation process from beginning to end.
With the West Busway being centrally located within downtown Carnegie, this
feature of the community creates many opportunities for growth and expansion
of the Borough's infrastructure. The following presentations help to
examine the benefits and obstacles that Transit Oriented Development
creates.
Thanks to Professor Magalotti and the students who worked hard to compile this
information on how to develop and maintain a successful transit oriented
community, the "hub" of TOD is Carnegie Borough!
