Location

Smith Road station is a stop on the Pittsburgh Light Rail network, operated by Pittsburgh Regional Transit, serving Castle Shannon, Pennsylvania. It is a street-level stop consisting of two low-level side platforms for boarding and is not accessible.

Smith Road was originally among 13 stops proposed for discontinuation on June 25, 2012, as part of a service consolidation intended to reduce travel times. However, the closure of Smith Road was not implemented.

In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded Pittsburgh Regional Transit $8 million to construct accessible platforms at ten Red Line stops, including Smith Road.
