Bigger. Better. RAD-er than ever.

Exciting changes are coming to RAD Pass!

More options. More access. More ways to turn an ordinary day into something RAD. In just a few days.

Starting this Wednesday, RAD Pass will be making more destinations available than ever before — and you’ll want to be ready to plan your next cultural adventure. Make sure you have an Allegheny County library card!

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.
