The Luzerne County Transportation Authority (LCTA) is the operator of mass transportation in the city of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and portions of surrounding Luzerne County. Services provided by the LCTA replaced previously offered services of the White Transit Company and Wilkes-Barre Transit Corporation, under a purchase-of-service agreement in 1972.[1]

The LCTA is governed by a nine-member board, appointed by the Luzerne County Council.[2] On August 1, 2019 LCTA was renamed the Northeast Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.[3]
