The Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority (formerly 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.[1]

History

rabbittransit was formerly known as York County Transit Authority. The name was changed in 2000 in order to improve the agency's image.[2] The name is a play of "rapid transit", coincidentally echoing the same play-on-words that formed the basis of the cartoon Rabbit Transit. During the late 2000s, rabbittransit benefited from high gas prices and saw an increase in ridership.[3] Ridership rose on express routes in particular, including the one operating between York and Harrisburg.[4]

On June 6, 2011, rabbittransit (in cooperation with the Adams County Transit Authority) began operating commuter service between Gettysburg and Harrisburg with a total of four round-trips daily. The route is designated "15N".[5]

On July 1, 2016, rabbittransit (in cooperation with Union/Snyder County Commissioners) merged with Union/Snyder Transportation Alliance (USTA).

Merger with Capital Area Transit

On December 22, 2020, rabbittransit announced that it would merge with Capital Area Transit (CAT), which offers service in Dauphin and Cumberland counties, to form the Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority.[6] The merger was proposed in order for better service and to prevent CAT service cuts.[7] The merged system will use the rabbittransit name. The CAT branding continues to be used on CAT buses, with a sticker underneath the CAT logo saying "a service of rabbittransit."[8]

Routes

As of 2026, rabbittransit operates four routes serving Gettysburg,[9] two serving Shippensburg,[10] 19 serving York and Hanover,[11] and several express routes.[12]
