Facility Overview

Roslyn Busway Parking is a designated surface commuter park-and-ride lot serving the Roslyn Station along Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s (PRT) famed Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway. Situated at 2032 Noble Street in the historic borough of Swissvale, just southeast of Pittsburgh’s East End, this open-air facility offers an essential staging ground for daily commuters and regional visitors alike. Because the facility is entirely at ground level without overhead structural decks or parking gates, it features unrestricted vertical clearance, making it fully accommodating for standard passenger sedans, pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and commercial service vans.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned on the border of Swissvale, Edgewood, and Regent Square, this parking location puts drivers within easy reach of local amenities as well as rapid transit into the heart of Pittsburgh:

• Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway: Directly on-site, offering dedicated, bypass-traffic bus rapid transit service into Downtown Pittsburgh (15–20 minutes) and Oakland’s university/medical district via transfer or connecting routes.
• Regent Square Business District: Located roughly 1 mile north (a 3-minute drive or brisk walk), renowned for independent dining, local cafes, boutique shops, and the Regent Square Theater.
• Edgewood Towne Centre: Less than 5 minutes away by car, featuring major shopping outlets, grocery stores, and essential services.
• Frick Park: Just over 1 mile away, offering miles of scenic hiking trails, woodlands, tennis courts, and picnic areas across Pittsburgh’s largest historic municipal park.
• Downtown Pittsburgh Sports & Culture: By boarding express busway routes (such as the P1), riders enjoy direct, seamless access to Acrisure Stadium, PNC Park, PPG Paints Arena, and the Cultural District without paying downtown event parking fees.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicular ingress and egress are straightforward via Noble Street, which connects directly to South Braddock Avenue and Monongahela Avenue. Drivers traveling along Interstate 376 (the Parkway East) can easily access the lot via Exit 77 (Edgewood/Swissvale), avoiding lengthy surface-street congestion. The prime benefit of the facility is immediate access to the Roslyn East Busway Station platform. PRT bus rapid transit vehicles run on a dedicated two-lane highway exclusive to buses, allowing passengers to effortlessly bypass rush-hour bottlenecks on I-376 and Penn Avenue.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because this lot is moderately sized and highly favored by local transit riders, parking spaces tend to fill quickly during weekday morning peak hours (typically between 7:00 AM and 8:30 AM). Arriving early is strongly encouraged to guarantee a spot. Drivers should ensure their vehicles are locked and valuables are kept out of sight. When planning your journey onward, have your PRT ConnectCard, transit app, or fare ready before ascending to the boarding platform.
