York County Transportation Authority completes merger with Adams County Transit Authority

The merger between these two agencies is complete with the appointment of the new board of directors, so now rabbittransit covers both York and Adams Counties.  The new organization will officially be called York Adams Transportation Authority, but the rabbittransit branding will remain in place.  Also, Gettysburg’s Freedom Transit will retain its name as well.

Since November of 2009, the agencies worked together to create one unified regional system.  Rabbittransit was already contracted to operate Gettysburg’s “Freedom Transit” System as well as its paratransit service.  Additionally, the new rt 15N Rabbit Express connects Gettysburg commuters with our state capital of Harrisburg.

Hopefully other areas of the state will work together to create “regional systems” (we’re looking at you, Wilkes Barre and Scranton!).  Click the link for more details: http://www.rabbittransit.org/pressreleases/2011/pr_merger.html
