Paratransit Service

COLTS provides complementary paratransit service to individuals who have a disability that prevents them from using the fixed route bus system. COLTS provides this service through a contract with Lackawanna County Coordinated Transportation System (LCCTS).

To qualify for paratransit service, a person must have a disability that prevents him/her from utilizing the COLTS fixed route bus system. Paratransit shuttles will deviate three-quarters of a mile from the COLTS fixed route system. COLTS (through LCCTS) provides door-to-door service for people, such as taking them to medical appointments.

Monthly passes are available for $80. A one-way trip within Lackawanna County is $2.50. A one-way trip to Luzerne County is $3.75.

6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday
8:30 a.m. through 6 p.m. on Saturday
