New Castle Area Authority Park N' Ride Project

The New Castle Area Transit Authority (NCATA) retained R.A.R. to
design a Park N’ Ride facility for downtown New Castle. Until this
point, the NCATA did not have a central transfer facility for its
passengers. This project repurposed 3.5 acres of downtown
property to allow 25 buses per day to pick up and drop off
passengers from eight bus shelters designed for passenger
convenience. Due to the success of this facility, additional funds
from the ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) were
secured to develop a sister Park N’ Ride on the opposite side of East
Washington Street. An additional 56 parking spaces were created
with this phase. These projects encouraged ridership throughout
Lawrence County and even into the City of Pittsburgh.
