STS Groundbreaking Ceremony

The Groundbreaking Ceremony for a newly constructed 80,000 square foot facility which will be located at 300 Wade Road in St. Clair  took place on August 11, 2020 .

The  new administrative and maintenance facility will provide indoor-covered storage, modern maintenance bays and equipment along with much more needed administration space.  It will also provide  Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling for the STS system which will replace the current outdated and undersized facility in the St. Clair Industrial Park.  The project is funded by federal, state and local financing.

“SCTA’s objective is to enhance their ability to maintain a world-class transit system that would be able to service Schuylkill County with distinction and continue to sustain services that are safe, dependable and cost-effective,” said Mr. Dave Bekisz, Executive Director of STS.
