OUR HISTORY

We have been working hard for several years in the transportation industry.

BCTA begins a fixed route operation with McCarter Transit as a local subcontractor in November 1982.
BCTA creates a county-wide shared-ride public transportation program called DART (Demand and Response Transit) in February 1983.
BCTA briefly sponsors passenger rail service until 1984.
BCTA assumes fixed route and shared-ride services operated by the Greater Aliquippa Transit Authority (GATA) in 1985.
BCTA starts Express A & B Service into Pittsburgh in July 1991 (currently Express Route 4) and executes an agreement with the Port Authority of Allegheny County for use of the West Busway.
BCTA consolidates fixed route and shared-ride services under one contractor upon completion of the ETC in 2001.
BCTA restructures fixed route operations in November 2002 creating a pulse-based system with a simplified route and fare structure and added fare media; a service model still in place today.
BCTA becomes a self-operating Authority in May 2003.
