WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION OF PITTSBURGH

The Waterways Association of Pittsburgh is a non-profit organization committed to promoting the use and care of the region's waterways. Founded in 1960, WAP's mission is to foster and support the development of a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly water transportation system in the Pittsburgh area... In 1859, a group of businessmen located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania formed The Pittsburgh Coal Exchange to promote the safety, health and transportation of the area's abundant coal supply. This organization grew and evolved; in 1967, the Waterways Association of Pittsburgh was chartered. Throughout the years, the focus changed from coal to steel to steel by-product. The patriarchs of the marine industries along the Monongahela, Allegheny and Upper Ohio River areas met monthly. The Waterways Association of Pittsburgh takes great pride in being the oldest river organization in the United States and a leader in our industry. We were partners with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers..
