The central hub for transportation in Greater Hazleton is Church Street Station, an intermodal center located at 126 Mine Street, just south of Broad Street in the city center. This station acts as a vital point for local, regional, and long-distance bus transportation, streamlining connectivity for residents.
Church Street Station is now the operational heart of Hazleton Public Transit, where passengers can access HPT buses, purchase necessary bus passes, and receive full customer support. The facility’s design includes provisions for future expansions, potentially incorporating parking facilities, retail spaces, and office areas, further enhancing its role in the community.
Hazleton Public Transit’s commitment to service excellence is further demonstrated by the John M. Ford Bus Storage and Maintenance Garage. This significant $26 million project represents a major investment in Hazleton’s infrastructure.
This nearly 50,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility is designed to house the fleet of 12 fixed-route buses and three paratransit Hazleton Transportation Van units. It features an automatic bus wash system, a dedicated bus maintenance service area, and a compressed natural gas fueling station, ensuring efficient and modern operations.
Hazleton Public Transit is committed to inclusivity and accessibility. In line with Title VI regulations, free interpreter services are available to assist with all transportation inquiries and services.
