Everything about The Greater Lafayette Public Transportation Corporation totally explained
The
Greater Lafayette Public Transportation Corporation (GLPTC) is a
municipal corporation founded in 1971 to provide
bus services in
Tippecanoe County, Indiana.
History
In 1970 the privately owned Greater Lafayette Bus Company abruptly ceased operations and the
City of Lafayette hastily assumed operation of the bus routes. Since the routes operated in
West Lafayette in addition to Lafayette, a funding mechanism that allowed the use of tax revenues from both cities was needed. GLPTC was formed to operate city bus services in the two cities and select surrounding areas of Tippecanoe County. GLPTC receives funding from the federal government, the State of
Indiana and property taxes levied in the service areas. In 1998 GLPTC began using the operating name
CityBus.
Current operations
The corporation's budget for 2007 was $9 million, with approximately $1.9 million coming from
farebox collections, pass sales, charters and other services. As of early 2007 the CityBus fleet consisted of 67 buses including
paratransit buses, two
trolley buses and two Gillig hybrid
diesel-electric buses. The majority of the fleet consists of vehicles manufactured by
Gillig Corporation. In 2006 GLPTC was the second busiest bus system in Indiana with more than 4.35 million rider trips.
