During the work, several digital passenger services will experience temporary outages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The agency&#8217;s main website, <a data-ylk=\"slk:RidePRT.org;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/rideprt.org\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">RidePRT.org<\/a>, is expected to remain accessible, but TrueTime real-time bus and rail arrival information will face potential interruptions alongside third-party applications that rely on agency data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Pittsburgh Regional Transit customer service phone lines will remain open during the maintenance window. However, representatives may have limited capabilities to assist callers because internal tools will be temporarily unavailable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Riders may continue to encounter intermittent service or technology disruptions while the maintenance remains underway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The primary stage of the data center migration is expected to last between seven and 10 hours following the 8 p.m. start time. Technicians will restore individual systems in phases and verify full operational connectivity as the work finishes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Download the <a data-ylk=\"slk:FREE WPXI News app;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Follow Channel 11 News on <a data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wpxi\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a data-ylk=\"slk:Twitter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPXI\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>. | <a data-ylk=\"slk:Watch WPXI NOW;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/video\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pittsburgh Regional Transit will temporarily take most of its technology systems offline starting at 8 p.m. on Saturday,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73,75,74],"class_list":["post-304142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
