Central New York Regional Transportation Authority
Encyclopedia
The Central New York Regional Transportation Authority, known as Centro, is the operator of mass transit
in Onondaga
, Oswego
, Cayuga
, and Oneida
counties in New York
state. The CNYRTA was formed on August 1, 1970, along with similar agencies in Rochester
, Albany
, and Buffalo
. CENTRO won the American Public Transportation Association
's 2006 "Outstanding Public Transportation System Achievement Award" for bus companies serving 4 million to 30 million riders a year.
Initially, Centro operations consisted of the local bus services in each city and private coach lines continued to provide intercity connecting service between the various counties. Although the private firms later received public subsidies, the economics of providing those services gradually declined and most of these routes were taken over by the CNYRTA as noted below.
County. Centro took over the assets and operations of the Syracuse Transit Corporation on January 17, 1972 and those of the suburban Syracuse & Eastern Transit Corp. in 1974. Most routes begin in Downtown Syracuse
, spread out through the city, and connect with the rest of Onondaga
County. CNY Centro also operates Syracuse University
shuttle routes and Syracuse City School District
routes for high school students. Since 1989 all Centro routes in the Syracuse area are accessible to wheelchair patrons.
. The UTA was a local agency only and did not have the same ability to raise revenues as a public benefit corporation such as the CNYRTA. Merging the local county bus operations into the Centro system brought greater financial stability. On October 1, 2005 Centro of Oneida assumed the operations of the VIP Transportation bus system in Rome, New York
. This merger of services has allowed for improved transit for citizens of Oneida County
. All of the former UTA and VIP buses were reconditioned with digital destination signs, upgraded air conditioning systems and new fare collection equipment. All buses are wheelchair accessible.
However, Oneida County routes do not connect directly to those in Onondaga, Cayuga, and Oswego Counties. Service between Utica, Rome and Syracuse was operated by Central New York Coach Lines until 1993 and these rights are now owned by Birnie Bus Service.

, at the intersection of Salina and Fayette Streets. Buses utilize all four corners to "line up". There are many downsides to the current setup, the biggest being the lack of protection from the weather. The few benches, canopies and bus shelters offer minimal protection from the elements, a less than ideal situation given the area's frigid winter temperatures. Also, passengers are often forced to cross one of the busiest intersections in Downtown twice to transfer between buses. The congestion caused by having up to twenty, full-sized city buses at the corner at any given time has been blamed for the lack of development in the 300 block of South Salina St.
For the past twelve years Centro has planned to move the Common Center to an off-street location. After various locations were reviewed and ultimately rejected, a site at the intersection of Adams and Salina Streets was chosen in 2006. This site currently hosts a Red Cross blood center. Through eminent domain Centro plans to tear down the standing building and build a new, indoor facility. The facility will offer a bus bay for every route, covered outdoor waiting, and indoor waiting. The facility will provide public restroom facilities, an information center, and possibly a food vendor, such as Dunkin Donuts. This move will benefit the riders of Centro and be the first step in the redevelopment of the 300 block of South Salina.
Plans were approved by the Federal Transit Administration
in November 2008. The design team includes Centro, QPK Design, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Robson Woese Inc., and Fisher Associates. Construction is set to begin in Fall 2010 with completion scheduled for Fall 2011.
As of May 2, 2011, the basic fare structure is as follows:

Overview
Centro operates four separate systems concentrated in the urban areas of the counties served. Each operates based on a hub-and-spoke route system with downtown transfer centers, although efforts have been made in recent years in the Syracuse area to provide direct services between outlying points without requiring passengers to change buses downtown.Initially, Centro operations consisted of the local bus services in each city and private coach lines continued to provide intercity connecting service between the various counties. Although the private firms later received public subsidies, the economics of providing those services gradually declined and most of these routes were taken over by the CNYRTA as noted below.
