Warren County Board Votes to Join Capital District Transportation Authority

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Business, Community, Featured, Workforce.

Glens Falls Bus Stop

The Warren County Board of Supervisors voted Thursday to join the Capital District Transportation Authority, to allow CDTA to provide public transportation services in Warren County. With upcoming retirements, Greater Glens Falls Transit did not appear viable going forward, and CDTA will replace GGFT to provide bus and trolley service in the Glens Falls area.

“Warren County is looking forward to its new relationship with Capital District Transportation Authority, a well-run and well-respected organization that has been providing public transportation around the Capital District for more than 50 years. We have appreciated the service provided by Greater Glens Falls Transit for the last 40 years, but amid changes that have occurred with the local and national workforces, joining with CDTA is in the best interests of Warren County residents and businesses,” said Kevin Geraghty, Chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors.

The new arrangement will require a change to NY Public Authorities Law by the NY State Legislature, which Warren County will seek in light of Thursday’s board vote.

The merger is expected to include expanded bus route offerings, and connections to other CDTA counties, including Saratoga County and other points in the Capital District. It will require Warren County to pay CDTA between $800,000 and $1.5 million annually, depending on Warren County mortgage tax revenue.
