| The Luzerne County Transportation
Authority currently provides the Wilkes-Barre urbanized area with
scheduled mass transportation bus service. A soon to be new bus fleet
operates on routes serving 31 municipalities within the urbanized area,
so that approximately 88% of the population resides within one-quarter
of a mile of a bus route. Route frequency of the various routes averages
out to about every forty-five minutes, with some routes operating every
half-hour. Our service hours are between 5:00 am and 7:00 pm, Monday
thru Friday and between 9:00 am and 5:30 pm on Saturdays. The Luzerne County
Transportation Authority also assists handicap persons in fulfilling
their transportation needs and to meet requirements of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990. This special Transportation Efforts
Program (S.T.E.P) is available in the General Service Area of the
Luzerne County Transportation Authority. This program permits approved
handicapped persons to ride on vans operated by the Luzerne/Wyoming
Counties Department. |
