LCTA to Run Snow Routes on Monday

Luzerne County transportation service adjusts operations due to inclement weather.

Published on Feb. 22, 2026

The Luzerne County Transportation Authority (LCTA) has announced that it will operate on snow routes on Monday due to expected inclement weather. This means that LCTA's fixed-route buses will run on alternate snow routes, while the LCTA CONNECTS microtransit service and shared ride paratransit service will operate at the discretion of the drivers based on road conditions.

Why it matters

Snow and inclement weather can significantly impact public transportation operations, requiring transit agencies to adjust routes and services to ensure the safety of passengers and drivers. LCTA's decision to shift to snow routes helps maintain essential transportation access for the community while prioritizing safety.

The details

When LCTA fixed-route buses are on snow routes, the LCTA CONNECTS microtransit service will operate on roads at the driver's discretion, allowing for pick-ups and drop-offs on alternate roads if it is safe to do so. Shared ride paratransit service will also operate at the driver's discretion. If fixed-route service is suspended or discontinued, both microtransit and paratransit services will also be suspended or discontinued.

  • LCTA will operate on snow routes on Monday, February 24, 2026.
