Pittsburgh Tri-State
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pittsburgh Tri-State is the U.S. region that is centered around the transportation, medical, academic, economic, media and federal resources based in Pittsburgh. It roughly covers east-central Ohio, much of the Northern areas of West Virginia (if not the entire state) and all of western Pennsylvania and some of central Pennsylvania. The county of Garrett, Maryland, the westernmost part of the state, is also largely considered part of the PT-S.
The area is an extension of the Pittsburgh DMA and the Pittsburgh Metro Area both officially designated areas covering area of Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia. Although including areas that are mostly autonomous in their own right such as Youngstown-Sharon, Steubenville-Wheeling-Weirton and Erie-Meadville, the Pittsburgh Tri-State is united in the fact that many cable systems carry Pittsburgh-based media, Pittsburgh sports teams have affiliate radio as well enjoying the primary fanbases, the areas use the Pittsburgh International Airport as their major gateway to the world, and Pittsburgh hospitals such as Allegheny General and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center as their resource for major surgery or trauma.
It can also be defined through the federally designated areas served by the Pittsburgh district of the Army Corps of Engineers, the Pittsburgh branch of the Federal Reserve Bank, the FBI and several other federal and national organizations.
Among the other Pittsburgh area colleges and universities are the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Carlow University, Chatham College, Duquesne University, La Roche College, Point Park University, Robert Morris University, Saint Vincent College, Seton Hill University, Slippery Rock University, California University of Pennsylvania, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, West Virginia University, Geneva College, Westminster College,Washington & Jefferson College, and Waynesburg College.
