### Berks Area Regional Transportation Authority agreement

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. The service has hopes of replacing service previously offered by Bieber Tourways, which had abandoned the service on July 1, 2013.

## Paratransit

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.
