Public Meetings – In person and Online

During the COVID-19 state of emergency, Board Members were given the option to attend in person and participate in Board of Directors meetings or attend through teleconference, however, the conference room of the Luzerne County Transportation Authority at 315 Northampton Street, Kingston, Pennsylvania continued to be utilized with appropriate social distance for limited attendees for public comment at each meeting. In addition to making its conference room available for public attendance and comment, the Authority will now offer public virtual online attendance.

The Luzerne County Transportation Authority’s monthly Board Meeting will begin at 5:00 PM, or immediately following conclusion of any Executive Session. There will also be a Work Session starting at 4:00 PM.

Work Sessions and Board Meetings are open to the public.

Executive Sessions if called are not open to the public.

• There are multiple ways to attend Work Sessions and Board Meetings:
• Board Meetings and Work Sessions are open to the public on site at 315 Northampton St, Kingston.
