Nesquehoning, PA\u00a0 –\u00a0 Carbon County Community Transit will be getting a new name, a new look, and new services. On Monday (September 28) the country transit agency will use the name Carbon Transit. The name change, as well as a new graphic identity, was approved recently by the Carbon County Commissioners.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn conversations with stakeholders including riders, and the local Chamber of Commerce we learned that CCCT was clumsy to say and was not a recognizable brand,\u201d said LANTA Executive Director Owen P. O\u2019Neil. \u201cWe also learned that many do not differentiate the different services offered by the system. So we gave each service a simple name that clearly identifies its role within Carbon Transit,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In addition to the new name, logo, and color scheme the agency has\u00a0created new identities for its three major services.<\/p>\n
CT Bus (formerly known as Lynx) will provide fixed-route and fixed-schedule service through several communities in the county, with connections to LANtaBus service in Palmerton and STS bus service in Coaldale. New bus stop signs will be posted along the routes.<\/p>\n
CT Flex is a new service that provides a reservation-based, curb-to-curb service. Riders simply call in advance to plan their trip. With CT Flex there is no qualification needed. It is available to all\u00a0transit riders.<\/p>\n
CT Shared Ride\u00a0is the new name for CCCT Paratransit,\u00a0continuing\u00a0the long-standing tradition of\u00a0curb-to-curb\u00a0service in the county. This reservation-based service requires some qualifications for riding, so residents are encouraged to check with Carbon Transit to confirm eligibility.<\/p>\n
