Lebanon Transit (LT) is an American public transportation service that is located in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. It provides bus and paratransit service to Lebanon, Pennsylvania and select communities in the region, including service to Hershey. Lebanon Transit also operates commuter bus service to Harrisburg and a Saturday bus route to the Park City Center shopping mall in Lancaster.

In 2024, the system had a ridership of 248,800, or about 900 riders per weekday as of the third quarter of 2025.

History

[edit | edit source]

Previously known as County of Lebanon Transit (COLT), the system was rebranded Lebanon Transit on May 3, 2010.[3]

Routes

[edit | edit source]

Lebanon Transit operates ten bus routes in their conventional bus service, and three express bus routes. On Saturdays, a special route is operated outside of the county to Park City Center shopping mall in neighboring Lancaster County.

All bus routes operate on a hub and spoke style network and depart from the Downtown Bus Terminal on Willow Avenue.[4]

Berks Area Regional Transportation Authority agreement

[edit | edit source]

On September 9, 2013, LT implemented a pilot service with the Berks Area Regional Transportation Authority, in which a new regional service would be offered linking Reading, Lebanon, Hershey and Harrisburg. The service would use both BARTA and LT buses over the length of the route, and times would be coordinated if a transfer would be necessary between the two agency's buses. The service is expected to be run for a reasonable trial time period, and expanded if found to be adequately patronized.[5] The service has hopes of replacing service previously offered by Bieber Tourways, which had abandoned the service on July 1, 2013.[6]

Paratransit

[edit | edit source]

Lebanon Transit operates a paratransit service called LT Paratransit weekdays through the urban and county areas of Lebanon County. The service is operated as a shared ride service, and requires a reservation after being previously approved through PWD (person with disabilities) or ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) program guidelines.[7]
