Facility Overview

The Mt. Nebo Park & Ride is a vital commuter surface parking facility located off Mount Nebo Road in Ohio Township near Sewickley, Pennsylvania (convenient to zip code 15143). Situated immediately adjacent to the Interstate 79 junction (Exit 68), this expansive open-air surface lot is designed to provide seamless multimodal transit and ridesharing solutions for suburban commuters traveling into Downtown Pittsburgh, the North Shore, and surrounding employment corridors. Because the lot is an open surface facility with no overhead barriers or height restrictions, it offers virtually unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an ideal choice not only for standard sedans and compact cars, but also for large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, commercial passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers.
