|  Welcome to the PittMAPS Stimulus Tracker
With the PittMAPS American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Tracker, Pittsburghers can track the City's use of federal stimulus/recovery funds provided and authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Stimulus). This funding will stimulate the City's economy by supporting critical initiatives and projects in infrastructure and energy efficiency, and in education by collaborating with Pittsburgh Public Schools, and health care by collaborating with Allegheny County. The Stimulus also includes federal tax cuts, and strengthens unemployment benefits and other social safety net programs to help Pittsburghers in need and sustain critical social services.
This Stimulus Tracker Web site is still under development. It will provide thorough accountability and details on the use of Stimulus funds by the City of Pittsburgh.

and create jobs for sustainable, efficient energy

Workforce Development & Education
 Funding to support the critical needs of working Pittsburghers in areas such as job training programs, reemployment assistance, and new private-public investment opportunities.
Health & Social Services Safety Net
 Funding to restore or enhance support for the most vulnerable Pittsburghers including aid for the homeless, income assistance, child protection and development, and health services.
Tax Credits & Fiscal Assistance
 Funding or tax credits to restore or enhance support for major financial commitments, especially in education, non-profit organizations, and the most vulnerable Pittsburghers.
Transparency and accountability are vital to the success of the Stimulus Act. Initially, the Stimulus Tracker will follow the allocation of funds to the City within the six (6) broad program areas above, and then how those funds are distributed to specific projects.
Using the Stimulus Tracker for now, Pittsburghers will be able to see how funding sources are distributed to projects and other City programs.
Later, new features will be added to the PittMAPS Stimulus Tracker.
Mayor Ravenstahl wants the PittMAPS Stimulus Tracker to help hold City government accountable for benefiting the lives of the 310,000 City of Pittsburgh residents and 150,000 additional day-time commuters who work inside Pittsburgh’s boundaries.
