WELCOME to Pasco County Public Transportation (PCPT)

Public transportation services are provided by the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners through Pasco County Public Transportation (PCPT). Fixed-route, transit buses operate throughout West Pasco, Dade City, and Zephyrhills. PCPT also operates the County’s paratransit service for those persons unable to access transit service because of a verifiable disability, environmental barrier, or distance from a route.  Persons residing within three-quarters mile of a bus route are required to use transit service. Because of the large number of destinations, wide area of coverage, and extended hours of service, you can use it for all your travel needs, such as shopping, health care, work, or recreation. Bus schedules and passes are available at the PCPT Administration Office, located at 8620 Galen Wilson Boulevard, Port Richey; Pasco-Hernando Community College West Campus bookstore, and seven Pasco County libraries. Schedules are also available at numerous outlets, including the West Pasco Government Center, the Courthouse, Zephyrhills Public Library, the New Port Richey Public Library and online. Connections are provided to the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) through Routes 18 and 19.
