AMTRAN News
Duncansville Borough service terminated as of January 31
Duncansville Borough recently informed AMTRAN that they would not meet their local match requirement for 2012. All federal and state funding for public transportation requires local match. Without local share funds, AMTRAN is not able to provide service. In order to give our customers a chance to make other transportation arrangements, AMTRAN has postponed the termination of service to Duncansville until January 31.

Update Your Rider Alerts
Customers should revise their Rider Alert preferences to reflect which routes they are riding after the service improvements that began June 13. All you have to do is click on the Rider Alerts button on the right.
Sometimes road construction or bad weather means our buses can’t follow their regular routes. If you sign up for Rider Alerts here on our website, we can alert you by e-mail or text when your bus has to go off-route.
You, the customer, get to choose which bus routes you want to know about. You decide how you’ll receive the alert - by e-mail or by text. You can add routes, change alerts, or even cancel the service when you want to. Give it a try.
The bus service in
Carl works at a local Burger King and thanks the service and the bus drivers for making sure he arrives to work safely and on time. He takes pride and finds joy in his work, "I like to help the people who come to Burger King. I do a good job at work, and I have made many friends there".
Aside from the personal benefits that Carl receives from using public transportation, he is also grateful for the relief it provides to the people invested in his day to day life. Carl lives with his mother and step-father.
"The buses help my parents. I don’t have to be so dependent on them for rides".
Although he knows that his life will always be affected by his family and the people he relies on for help daily, AMTRAN gives him the chance to "help" himself.
"It makes me happy to know that I can do so many things by myself".
Carl K.
