Introducing the RAD Summer Staycation
RAD Summer Staycation
This summer, some of Pittsburgh’s favorite attractions will offer more than 100,000 free admissions. All you need is an Allegheny County library card and a RAD Pass reservation.
Organizations participating in RAD Summer Staycation replenish offers daily. Please continue to check RADPass.org frequently.
Allegheny Regional Asset District
The Allegheny Regional Asset District – RAD – invests in Allegheny County's quality of life through financial support of libraries, parks and trails, arts and cultural organizations, regional attractions, sports and civic facilities, and public transit.
With half of the proceeds from Allegheny County's additional one percent sales and use tax, RAD has invested more than $2.5 billion in our regional assets since its inception. An additional $2.5 billion has gone directly to the County and its 128 municipalities for property tax relief and local government services. RAD is a time-tested solution that works for the economy, for assets, for citizens, for municipalities – for all. RAD works here.
