Transit Development Plan

Overview

In August 2018, The South Central Transit Authority (SCTA) completed the development of a Transit Development Plan (TDP) for the fixed-route bus and paratransit services in Berks and Lancaster Counties. The TDP will serve as a guide for meeting future demands for transit services and increasing the overall use of public transit. Development of the TDP involved:

• Identifying demographics and travel trends
• Evaluating current RRTA and BARTA service
• Gathering input from riders and the public regarding existing services and future needs
• Establishing goals and strategies to address unmet transit needs and services issues, such as connecting employees to their place of work
• Identifying and evaluating opportunities for potential growth
• Estimating the level of funding available to provide transit services over the life of the plan
• Conducting a fare analysis
