River Valley Transit

[1][2][3] The building has bus stop facilities on the ground floor, and also includes commercial offices and a performing arts center.

[1] In 2011, RVT took over management of the Endless Mountains Transportation Authority, now known as BeST Transit, which operates in Bradford, Tioga, and Sullivan counties.

[5] In 2021, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced an investigation of RVT and the City of Williamsport, alleging misuse of state and federal grant funds from 2009 to 2019.

[6] It was suspected that grant funding was used improperly to subsidize river cruise operator Hiawatha, Inc., among other misuses;[7] the city was then sent a letter by PennDOT to cease any potential use of transit dollars for ineligible non-transit related expenses.

[9][10] Also in 2021, River Valley Transit hired accounting firm RKL to perform RVT's annual financial audit.

Their audit, presented to the City Council's finance committee in October 2021, found a number of financial inconsistencies and evidence of comingling of funds.
