Poplar is a station on the Port Authority of Allegheny County's light rail network, located in Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The street level stop is located in a densely populated residential area. Its primary purpose is to serve commuters within walking distance, providing access toward Downtown Pittsburgh, South Hills Village, or Library.
In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded The T $8 million to construct accessible platforms at ten stops, including Poplar.[3][4]
