If you've ever worked with us, you've probably worked with Chuck. His kindness and generosity were overshadowed only by his love and knowledge of everything Pittsburgh and everything transit. Chuck retired today after 30+ years as a bus and rail operator and, for the last 10+years, as director of special events. If you attended a baseball, football, or hockey game, a concert, a parade, a marathon or any other event in Pittsburgh in the last decade, it was easier for you to get around because of Chuck. His passion and dedication will be greatly missed and wish him the absolute best in his next chapter.
