Transit Planning

Transit Development Program

The Fiscal Year 2012 - 2016 Transit Development Program (TDP) is developed by Eastgate Regional Council of Governments on a yearly basis to document ongoing transit planning activities in Mahoning and Trumbull Counties. The TDP covers a five year planning horizon and identifies future transit capital improvement projects submitted by the Western Reserve Transit Authority (WRTA) and Niles Trumbull Transit (NiTTS). Eastgate utilizes the TDP as a short range planning mechanism to program future federal and state transit funding in Eastgate’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

The TDP provides an overview of transit in the Youngstown OH-PA urbanized area. The report explains current transit operations in the Ohio portion of the urbanized area, yearly ridership statistics, and future transit expansion. On the Pennsylvania portion of the urbanized area, transit services are provided by the Shenango Valley Shuttle Service (SVSS). The SVSS transit planning activities are programmed through the Mercer County Council of Governments, the Mercer County Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the Mercer County Regional Planning Commission.
