HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Office of Public-Private Partnerships (P3) announced today that public comment on the Allegheny Airport Authority’s (ACAA) proposed Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Shuttle Project will be available for Pennsylvanians starting March 15 through April 14.
ACAA is the project sponsor and would be responsible for implementing the proposed AV shuttle system and associated civil infrastructure, which would provide automated passenger transportation along a dedicated guideway connecting landside parking facilities, landside amenities, and the new landside terminal at Pittsburgh International Airport.
PennDOT, in conjunction with ACAA, has prepared a detailed project analysis addressing the anticipated location of the project; type of transportation facility and service; estimated costs; anticipated contract term; potential social, economic, and environmental impacts; applicable federal and state laws; and alternative delivery models to the proposed P3 delivery model.
Pennsylvania’s P3 law requires PennDOT to make the detailed project analysis available for public review and comment in advance of any consideration by the P3 Board. The project analysis and supporting documentation will be available for public review during the comment period at www.pa.gov/P3comment.
Comments may be submitted from March 15 to April 14, 2026, in the following ways:
