2026 NFL Draft Campus
Public transportation is the most efficient way to move between neighborhoods, park-and-ride locations, and the official Draft footprint.
The most stress-free way to experience the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh is to leave the car behind and let our regional transit network do the heavy lifting. With expanded schedules and dedicated "Fan Express" routes, getting to the Draft Campus is simple and affordable.
We are excited to announce a Pennsylvania icon is helping our fans get to the Draft. Sheetz, a family-owned staple for over 70 years, has partnered with Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) to ensure that traveling between our neighborhoods and the Draft Campus is easier and more affordable than ever.
All fares on the Light Rail (The "T") and the Monongahela Incline will be FREE from April 23-25, thanks to the generosity of Sheetz.
To ensure every fan and resident can get where they need to go, PRT will operate on an expanded service schedule from April 23-25. This coordinated effort increases both the frequency and the capacity of the most popular routes, safely moving residents and visitors between neighborhoods, regional park-and-ride lots and the official Draft footprint.
During Draft weekend, you can expect a higher level of reliability across the entire system:
To reduce congestion and move large volumes of fans directly to the event areas, PRT will operate four special “Football Flyer” bus routes during Draft week. These routes offer a "park and ride" experience, starting at major suburban lots and traveling directly to the Draft Campus.
All four Football Flyers will drop off and pick up passengers near Point State Park in Downtown and near PNC Park on the North Shore.
If you plan on being part of the action all weekend, the $25 Draft Pass is your best bet.
Note: Standard fares or the $25 Draft Pass apply to all bus routes, including the Football Flyers.
For many fans, the light rail, locally known as the "T," is the most efficient way to travel between the South Hills and the heart of the action.
Fans are highly encouraged to use park-and-ride lots located at various transit stations to avoid Downtown congestion. Most lots along the light rail system will be open and are free.
