(Pittsburgh, PA) PennDOT has now lifted the temporary restrictions on certain vehicles from traveling on several roadways in southwestern Pennsylvania. PennDOT temporarily restricted certain vehicles from using the interstates to help ensure that the interstates remained open during the most challenging conditions of the winter storm due to the winter storm impacting the region.
The vehicle restrictions reflecting Tier 3 of Pennsylvania’s weather event vehicle restriction plan have now been removed from the following District 11 roadways:
Allegheny County
Beaver County
Lawrence County
The speed limit will continue to be restricted to 45 mph for all vehicles on the roadways that are listed above as well as Routes 28 and 65 in Allegheny County and Route 65 in Beaver County. Commercial vehicles not affected by restrictions on these or other roadways must move to the right lane on roadways with speed restrictions.

(Aliquippa, PA) A recent summary of annual electric cost savings was achieved by the Aliquippa School District through its independent partnership with Chrislynn Energy Services after a meeting occurred on Friday. That outcome is directly related to the strategic decision from Aliquippa School District to move away from the traditional energy consortium model and by pursuing a district-specific approach to energy management and fiscal efficiency. According to a release from the Aliquippa School District, the key results of this endeavour are as follows:

Pittsburgh, PA – Due to the winter storm, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has temporarily reduced the speed limit on several roadways in the region.
PennDOT is urging motorists to avoid unnecessary travel but those who must head out will see speeds reduced to 45 mph on the following highways:
Allegheny County
Beaver County
Lawrence County
Additional speed restrictions on interstates and expressways may be implemented as the storm progresses.
As a reminder, the following vehicle restrictions were implemented, in accordance with Tier 4 of the commonwealth’s weather event vehicle restriction plan on area interstates and Route 28.
Under Tier 4 restrictions, no commercial vehicles are permitted. Additionally, all school buses, commercial buses, motor coaches, motorcycles, RVs/motorhomes and passenger vehicles (cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, etc.) towing trailers are not permitted on affected roadways while restrictions are in place.
While PennDOT recommends not traveling during winter storms, motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,200 traffic cameras.
511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
Motorists should always allow plenty of space when driving near plow trucks. Also, for their own safety and the safety of plow operators, motorists should never attempt to pass a truck while it is plowing or spreading winter materials.
PennDOT reminds motorists to pack an emergency kit for their vehicles. A basic kit should include non-perishable food, water, blanket, small shovel and warm clothes. When preparing an emergency kit, motorists should account for special needs of passengers such as baby food, pet supplies or medications and pack accordingly.
More information about how to prepare for any type of emergency, including free downloadable checklists of items to keep in your home, car, and at work, and specific information for people with access and functional needs or pets, is available on the Ready PA webpage.
