LANTA proposes more Lehigh Valley bus route cuts, will host meeting

LANTA may alter some of its bus routes in June, and the Lehigh Valley’s transit agency wants to know what you think about it.

A public meeting is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. April 29 at 60 W. Broad St. in Bethlehem. LANTA is requesting that anyone who wants to attend should register in advance. Those who can’t make it in person can attend virtually.

Changes are being proposed on 21 routes, which may have cutbacks on frequency of service. Those are listed on LANTA’s website. Also included are minor alignment changes in Bethlehem.

Twenty-three routes will see no changes.

If the changes move forward, they will go into effect June 15.

LANTA raised fares in March and cut back service on more than a dozen routes in January. The changes come as Pennsylvania’s public transportation agencies continue to press the state to increase funding.
