PITTSBURGH – Due to the confluence of two presidential campaign rallies scheduled for downtown on Monday, November 4, Allegheny County and the City of Pittsburgh are jointly announcing an early dismissal for non-essential County and City workers on Monday at noon. The City and the County are also encouraging individuals and businesses to avoid unnecessary travel in and around downtown Monday afternoon to reduce traffic and parking congestion likely to be caused by the events.

We encourage everyone who visits downtown for a rally on Monday to respectfully and peacefully make their voice heard and we are looking forward to a smooth Election Day on Tuesday.”
