The Luzerne County Transportation Authority is the public transportation provider in Luzerne County, PA. Formed in Wilkes-Barre in 1972, we provide public transportation in a 900-square mile area in Northeastern Pennsylvania. In 2023, we provided 900,000 fixed route and shared ride passenger trips. LCTA offers convenient and affordable transportation to essential services such as employment, educa
