York Adams Transportation Authority Completes Merger with New Board

York, PA – rabbittransit announced the final completion of its merger between the York County Transportation Authority (YCTA) and the Adams County Transit Authority. YCTA has been managing the Adams County Transit Authority for over a decade. Since November 2009, both organizations have worked hard to create a new, single organization to meet the transit needs for both counties.

The coordination has created a centralized Call Center and Mobility Planning Office that assists all paratransit riders from both York and Adams County. The merger will also provide additional opportunities for increased efficiencies as administrative functions are streamlined. The new organization, known as the York Adams Transportation Authority, will continue to utilize the rabbittransit brand.
