Transition PGH is one of four (as of 21 May 2010) official transition initiatives in Pennsylvania, as listed on the Transition United States website. So, what does it mean for Transition PGH to be an a formal transition initiative? In the context of the transition related movie screenings and trainings starting back in March (see the meetup group), four Pittsburghers, Elisa Beck, Greg Boulos, Mark Dixon, and Jeff Newman successfully went through the the application process described in the transition primer, to become a "Transition Hub" for Pittsburgh. Basically, the point of a hub is to facilitate the formation of local (neighborhood or borough) transition initiatives, such as the recently formed Sustainable Monroeville

[May 2010: Just to be clear, Sustainable Monroeville is not yet an official transition initiative, but it is headed somewhat in that direction. Also, as is likely to be the case with groups which are not Transition Hubs, Transition Monroeville isn't strictly about transition stuff -- it's about Monroeville.]
