Yuma County Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority (YCIPTA) is developing a five year Short Range Transit Plan which will entail making YCAT bus service faster and even easier to use.  As a result, there will be changes to the transit system, which would take effect on Monday, August 18, 2014.    There will be better-timed connections to routes at Cocopah Casino, AWC/NAU/UA Transfer Hub, West Yuma Transfer Hub, and Downtown Yuma Transit Center.  YCIPTA wants your input!
