LCTA Unveils Two Patriotic Buses

The Luzerne County Transportation Authority (LCTA) unveiled two patriotic, historically themed buses today that will travel throughout Luzerne County for the coming year in celebration of America’s 250th Birthday.

“These patriotic buses are rolling tributes to American history that honor the courage, sacrifice, and vision that helped shape our great nation,” said Bob Fiume, LCTA Executive Director. “As they travel throughout our communities, we hope they serve as powerful visual reminders of
our shared heritage – inspiring pride, reflection, and appreciation for the generations who built and strengthened America.”

Additionally, Mr. Fiume announced that LCTA is partnering with the City of Wilkes-Barre and America250PA for the Commonwealth Concert Series on June 20. That day, LCTA will provide transportation from four parking lots along its bus routes – LCCC, Mohegan Sun, Misericordia University, and Betzler Field at King’s College – from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. In addition, LCTA will offer ADA paratransit service from these satellite lots and the parking garage at the James F. Conahan Intermodal Transit Center. LCTA will provide return transportation after the show until midnight

“We are happy to partner with LCTA to provide accessible transportation for concert attendees,” said Wilkes-Barre Mayor George C. Brown. “Throughout my administration, we have strengthened our partnership with LCTA. Today is a perfect example of our outstanding relationship.”
“These bus wraps are a vibrant reminder that America’s 250th anniversary belongs to everyone,” said Cassandra Coleman, Executive Director of America250PA. “We’re grateful to LCTA and the City of Wilkes-Barre for helping make the Commonwealth Concert Series more accessible
through expanded public transportation options. We can’t wait to welcome all of our guests to Kirby Park for this once-in-a-generation celebration!”
