Rabbittransit

The Central Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (formerly York Adams Transportation Authority), doing business as rabbittransit, is the mass transit service of York and Adams counties in Pennsylvania and oversees the transportation needs of Columbia, Cumberland, Franklin, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Snyder and Union counties. The agency currently operates 15 fixed routes within York County (12 in York and 3 in Hanover) and 4 routes in Adams County (all of which serve Gettysburg), express bus routes from Gettysburg to Harrisburg and from York to Harrisburg and Towson, Maryland (connecting to the Baltimore Light RailLink of the Baltimore area's Maryland Transit Administration).
The agency, which has an annual ridership of 1.7 million, also provides paratransit services to the disabled, and a shared ride service.
History.
Renaming.
rabbittransit was formerly known as York County Transit Authority. The name was changed in 2000 in order to improve the agency's image. The name is a play of "rapid transit", coincidentally echoing the same play-on-words that formed the basis of the cartoon, "Rabbit Transit".
Merger proposal.
There are currently proposals to merge rabbittransit with Capital Area Transit (CAT), which offers service in Dauphin and Cumberland counties in order for better service and to prevent CAT service cuts. The new transit authority would be called the Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority.
