Adams County Transit Authority Seeks Public Input:
New Express Service Routes from Gettysburg to Harrisburg

Gettysburg, PA – rabbitEXPRESS The Adams County Transit Authority (ACTA) announced proposed schedules for new rabbitEXPRESSEXPRESS service between the Gettysburg area and Harrisburg, which is scheduled to premiere on Monday, June 6. Designed for commuters, rabbitEXPRESSEXPRESS hopes to alleviate the stresses of travel including increasing fuel prices, inclement weather and vehicle wear and tear. The proposed rabbitEXPRESSEXPRESS service will operate two round trips on weekdays.

The service will be offered from the Gettysburg Transfer Center, Gettysburg Gateway, a Park and Ride lot that is still being identified along Route 234 and a Park and Ride location in Dillsburg. ACTA is asking potential customers to log on to the rabbitEXPRESSEXPRESS website, www.rabbittransit.org/express, to provide feedback through a survey on the proposed route and schedules.

A new feature of the service would include WiFi access onboard the vehicles. There will also be an Emergency Ride Home Program. This program would guarantee registered participants who commute to work at least twice a week a free ride home, up to six times per year, in case of an emergency. The service is a reimbursement program. For more information, please visit www.rabbittransit.org/express.
