The Disability Friendly Community Steering Committee serves as the Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority’s official “Community Advisory Committee,” giving oversight to LANTA’s accessible transportation operations. LANTA provides quarterly performance data for the LANta Van paratransit/shared ride system. The information can be compared to performance results from public systems across Pennsylvania, revealing where operational performance and customer service can be improved. The Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority’s quarterly reports inform the work of DFC’s Transportation Committee, which aims to increase the transportation options for all people with disabilities, not just those with special mobility needs.
