LCTA BRT Feasibility Study Survey #2

The Luzerne County Transportation Authority (LCTA) is partnering with the County of Lackawanna Transit System (COLTS), Hazleton Public Transit (HPT), and the Lackawanna-Luzerne Metropolitan Planning Organization (LLMPO) to study opportunities for a new type of bus service called bus rapid transit.

The project team has identified four BRT alternatives for further evaluation. Survey #2 asks how likely you would be to use each of the BRT alternatives. Your feedback will help the project team identify which BRT options would best meet community needs. The project team will also use your feedback to decide which alternatives to prioritize for implementation. We appreciate your input!
What is BRT?
Bus rapid transit (BRT) is high-quality bus service that is faster, more reliable, and higher capacity compared to local bus services. BRT typically consists of some combination of the following features:
  • Improved service frequency
  • Improved stations and passenger amenities
  • Distinct branding
  • Improved operating conditions through dedicated bus ways or transit signal priority.

Express bus service is similar to BRT, but is typically more focused on serving commuting periods, and may have different types of stops/stations.
