This station currently acts as the northern terminus of the Pittsburgh Light Rail system, and it is most distant station of the North Shore Connector project. It also marks the beginning of the Light Rail system's six-station "Free Fare Zone" within which riders do not need to pay to ride.[2]

Bus bays are located under the elevated station.

Future developments

Although Allegheny station is currently a terminus, in the future, Pittsburgh Regional Transit plans to extend service westward toward Pittsburgh International Airport as well as northward into the North Hills area.[3]
