CDTA begins integration into Greater Glens Falls Transit
The Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) has begun to integrate into Greater Glens Falls Transit by installing CDTA bus stop signs along Greater Glens Falls Transit routes.
“We are excited to be taking this first visible step in bringing CDTA to Warren County,” said CDTA CEO Carm Basile. “Over the next several weeks, the community will start to see more of CDTA as we transition the service network. I want to thank the Warren County Board of Supervisors and the Mayor of Glens Falls for helping to make our service a reality for the North County. We look forward to getting to know our customers and the community as we roll out the CDTA welcome.”
The Warren County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution in May to join the CDTA. In September, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation into law that allows Warren County to enter CDTA’s transportation network. Warren County is the sixth county to join the authority. The merger into CDTA will give customers in Warren County increased accessibility to transportation throughout the Capital Region.
CDTA is working with the city of Glens Falls to transition employees at Greater Glens Falls Transit. As bus stop signs are being installed, Greater Glens Falls Transit buses will be painted and branded with the recognizable CDTA blue and gold. Marketing and promotional materials will be developed and appropriate social media will be introduced so Greater Glens Falls Transit customers can transition to the CDTA information platform. CDTA is working to assume and transfer Greater Glens Falls Transit assets, including equipment, property and other administrative items.
