(Pittsburgh, PA) Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor announced yesterday morning that UPMC has provided the city with a $10 million contribution to help upgrade the city’s EMS vehicles and equipment. According to the city of Pittsburgh, the $10 million contribution will allow the city to purchase nine new ambulances and one rescue truck in 2026 and a “similar” amount in 2027. This purchasing will be done in phases so the maintenance and lifetime of the vehicles will be staggered.
