History

The New Castle Area Transit Authority was formed in 1959 to take over Shenango Valley Transportation Company's operations following a year-long strike (1958-1959) in which no public transit services ran. On September 1st, 1965, NCATA was incorporated as a mass transportation project with the cooperation of and funding from the local, state, and federal levels.
