In partnership with the York County Department of Veterans Affairs, rabbittransit offers expanded service to the Lebanon VA Medical Center and the York VA Clinic for veterans of York and Adams Counties.
"Nearly one million Pennsylvanians rely on public transit every single day. Public transit provides freedom and opportunity for millions of Pennsylvanians while making the Commonwealth more competitive," Secretary Carroll said. "That's why Governor Shapiro proposed the first major new investment in public transit in over 10 years. We have a historic opportunity to connect our communities, spur economic development, and create opportunity for generations to come. This investment will provide reliable public transit that can meet our residents' current and future needs."
The Governor's proposal would invest an additional $5.4 million in rabbittransit in the 2024-25 fiscal year, not only stabilizing the services York depends on but also supporting improved service. With additional funds, rabbittransit could increase frequency on its 1W west York route giving current and potential riders more options and reliability to get to work and within the community. Increasing frequency on their 1E route in October 2023 led to 20 percent ridership growth on that route.
"Transit is the great equalizer" said rabbittransit Executive Director Richard Farr. "Providing mobility assists everyone to participate fully in society. It allows our friends and neighbors to access employment opportunities, medical needs, access to food and allows individuals to be connected to each other. It helps keep the economy moving."
"The United Way of York County is setting out on a new, bold goal: assisting 8,000 working households to achieve financial stability by 2033," said Brian Grimm, president of the United Way of York County. "Transportation has been identified as one of the greatest barriers to achieving financial stability in the county. By convening, coordinating and funding efforts surrounding transportation, more working households can pursue opportunities for an equitably thriving community."
Further supporting York's economy, additional investment in rabbittransit would support creating a new vanpool focusing on second and third shift workers in York. These enhancements would help employers and workers, especially Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) residents for whom transportation may be a barrier to opportunities, childcare, and more.
"There is a direct correlation between access to transit and a stable, employable workforce. Employers and employees, educational institutions, social services providers, government, and our economy all depend upon it," said York Economic Alliance CEO Kevin Schreiber. "The Governor's proposal would ensure that access remains available and predictable which is essential to a thriving regional economy."
HACC's York campus is served by various rabbittransit routes, with roughly 14,000 annual trips to and from the campus. The Governor's proposal would help the agency ensure they don't have to cut routes or frequency to the campus.
"For the last 60 years, HACC has focused on helping change students' lives and the trajectories of their families. With over 110,000 alumni, HACC's story is one of countless successes," said Tim Barshinger, HACC assistant vice president for Student Enrollment Services. "As a result of this proposal, transportation will be one less barrier for HACC's current and future students, ensuring that HACC remains essential to the economic and workforce stability of York and Central Pennsylvania."

We oversee programs and policies affecting highways, urban and rural public transportation, airports, railroads, ports and waterways, in addition to administering the state's more than 11 million vehicle registrations and 8.8 million driver's licenses.
The proposal would increase the amount of sales tax revenue transferred to the Public Transportation Trust Fund by $283 million. The fund provided nearly $2.5 billion in grants to public transportation systems in the 2023-24 budget.
State Rep. Maureen Madden (D-Monroe) said that in addition to providing 39,000 jobs across the state and more than $5 billion in overall economic impact, transit is a lifeline for older residents to be able to live rich and dignified lives.
Madden, who is chairperson of the House Aging and Older Adult Services Committee, said the state Department of Aging recently completed a plan in collaboration with a number of aging-related groups aimed at ensuring the health and well being of Pennsylvania seniors. It includes four elements focused on enhancing public transportation across the state to better serve older people:

As we have all noticed, the rabbit is a frequent pet and when moulting the rabbit, it ingests a greater amount of hair that can clog in the stomach or intestines creating a very ball hard called trichobezoard. We must be aware that the rabbit can not vomit, can not expel this ball of hair. Alas the acidity of the stomach will not be enough to disintegrate the trichobzoard, and the short-term risks are stopping the transit.
