The County of Lackawanna Transit System will provide compressed service on 11 of its regular fixed routes to provide public transportation to those who need to make essential trips.

The routes and schedules are listed on COLTS’s website, coltsbus.com.

The bus company also will continue to provide free rides and expects that passengers are only riding for life-sustaining reasons including work, grocery stores and medical trips. For passengers who need to use COLTS for life-sustaining reasons and are not on the 11 fixed routes, Demand Response is also available. Passengers can call COLTS to request rides, as directed on their website; 24-hour advance notice must be given.
