Add the Port Authority of Allegheny County to the growing list of transit agencies teaming up with Internet search engine Google to offer trip-planning information.

Riders can visit www.google.com/transit and enter a starting and ending address for their trip. Google Transit then will outline trip information, as well as provide a rail or bus route map and detailed satellite images of the area.

In December 2005, the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon became the first agency to team up with Google. Since then, Google Transit has added four bus agencies to its trip-planning program.
