LANTA'S Efforts to Meet Changing Mobility Needs in the Lehigh Valley
On October 9th, we were joined by the Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority (LANTA) for a lunchtime presentation at the Brookside Country Club in Macungie, PA.
Owen O’Neil, LANTA’s Executive Director, presented an overview of the various bus services LANTA provides in the Lehigh Valley, improvements implemented to increase ridership, future improvements on the horizon, and LANTA’S bus rapid transit type service, the Enhance Bus Service (EBS) System. Mr. O’Neil concluded the presentation by outlining the various partnerships LANTA has with both community and government stakeholders, and how we as engineers and planners can help LANTA improve service as part of the continued growth and development in the Lehigh Valley by focusing on increasing pedestrian access.
