b'highlights of fiscal year 21-22Inaugural SRTA Board MeetingSRTA conducted its inaugural board meeting on November 18, 2021 in Harrisburg. The formation of the authority is the result of a regionalization between rabbittransit and Capital Area Transit (CAT). rabbittransit began a management contract with CAT for oversight of the organization in 2018. Over the course of three years, the organizations collaborated to identify best practices and standardize procedures in an effort to enhance mobility for area residents. In early 2021, the authorities governing rabbittransit and CAT held public meetings and each respective Board of Directors, as well as our founding municipal partners, approved the direction of regionalization. Advantages of the new Authority include eliminating duplicative operations, having greater opportunity to qualify for discretionary grants and leveraging the buying power of a larger organization, in addition to expanding call center hours and offering greater service connectivity regionally.Harrisburg Redesigned Service LaunchAfter nearly two years of planning and a hiatus during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CAT launched its 2021 service redesign on September 7. The CAT 2021 service redesign aims to provide efficient and effective public transportation in Cumberland and Dauphin Counties and the City of Harrisburg. New comprehensive ride guides were created to offer information for navigating the entire system network. Middletown Train Station Partnership January 18, 2022, marked the grand opening of the new Middletown Train Station. Capital Area Transit, a service of rabbittransit, provides service to the Middletown Train Station via route 7, offering a direct connection to and from the train station to the Harrisburg International Airport and to downtown Harrisburg. CAT will also oversee the parking management and maintenance responsibility for the Middletown Train Station on behalf of PennDOT. The new train station is owned by PennDOT and is served by Amtrak, public transit, taxi, bicycle and rideshare services.'
