The Luzerne County Transportation Authority (LCTA) is the operator of mass transportation in the city of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and portions of surrounding Luzerne County. Services provided by the LCTA replaced previously offered services of the White Transit Company and Wilkes-Barre Transit Corporation, under a purchase-of-service agreement in 1972.[1]
The LCTA is governed by a nine-member board, appointed by the Luzerne County Council.[2] On August 1, 2019 LCTA was renamed the Northeast Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.[3]
Routes
[edit]The LCTA operates 15 routes weekdays and Saturdays, serving the urban area of Wilkes-Barre and the surrounding Luzerne County in Pennsylvania. An additional route serves as an inter-city route between Wilkes-Barre and Scranton.[4]
As of July 6, 2010, LCTA routes originate at the James F. Conahan Intermodal Transportation Center on Washington Street near Public Square.[5] The LCTA shares the bus boarding platforms with Martz Trailways. Before the move, the LCTA began trips at Public Square, as it had since its inception in 1972.
