BCTA to Hold Two Public Hearings Tonight On Proposed Changes

The Beaver County Transit Authority has scheduled two public hearings tonight on proposed service changes. The first hearing will be held this afternoon at 5 p.m. in the board room of the BCTA Transportation Center on West Washington Street in Rochester. The service cuts include the elimination of some early morning hours on Routes 1 and 11 and late night hours on Route 11, with the last weekday Route 1 bus from Pittsburgh being at 7 p.m. from the East Busway stop. Another proposed cut is the elimination of Route 1 service to and from Pittsburgh between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The stop at Drug and Alcohol in Vanport would be eliminated. CCBC service would be reduced on weekdays and eliminated on Saturdays. One Route 3 morning trip would be eliminated along with time changes and Route 11 Saturday service would be reduced. The Transit Authority says the changes will come with some benefits including improved time performance, improved connections between routes, the elimination of capacity issues on certain routes and the addition of a bus on Route 2 among other benefits. People looking to submit their comments in writing should mail them or deliver them in person before 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 19 to BCTA, 200 W. Washington St., Rochester, PA 15074. Beaver County Radio’s Matt Drzik will be at one of those meetings tonight and will have a detailed report for us tomorrow morning at 6:30 on AM Beaver County.
