A popular savings program that was established during the COVID-19 pandemic is coming to an end. 

Starting Sunday, Oct. 1, , the Lehigh Northampton Transportation Authority, said it will begin a two-stage fare restoration program for its 31-day pass. 

The fare, which was drastically reduced during the COVID crisis, will be raised to $30 starting Sunday and then will be fully restored to $60 on Jan. 1. 

“The 31-Day Pass offers unlimited rides from the date of purchase,” said Owen O’Neil, executive director of LANTA. “When fully restored to $60 in January it will reflect the same fare first instituted 11 years ago.”  

O’Neil noted that there are no changes to Day Passes, and other LANTA fares.
