Currently the PVTA offers fixed-route bus service as well as paratransit service for the elderly and disabled. The PVTA was created by Chapter 161B of the Massachusetts General Laws in 1974. It is based in Springfield, Massachusetts and serves Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin counties. Organizational structure{{Overly detailed|section|date=February 2018}}As per Section 25, Chapter 161B of the Massachusetts General Laws, regional transit authorities in Massachusetts are not permitted to directly operate their service, but must instead contract with other entities to operate the buses. As such, the PVTA contracts with two entities to provide fixed-route service in the service area:[1] First Transit and UMass Transit Services. The contractors run semi-autonomous garages that act as vehicle depots for the surrounding areas.[2] Springfield Area Transit CompanyThe Springfield Area Transit Company (SATCo) operates the southern portion of PVTA's service area, servicing Hampden County. SATCo, located at 2840 Main Street in Springfield, is managed by First Transit, and is located adjacent to the PVTA's headquarters at 2808 Main Street. All SATCo fixed-route buses are numbered in the 1000 series. SATCo transports more than 9 million passengers annually. Fleet (Fixed Route Vehicles)
UMass Transit Services{{main article|University of Massachusetts Transportation Services}}UMass Transit Services operates PVTA's routes through the Five Colleges area in eastern Hampshire County and neighboring towns, with most of the routes centered around UMass Amherst, the largest ridership generator in the service area. UMass Transit Services is a department within the University of Massachusetts Amherst.[3] The UMass Transit garage is located on-campus at 255 Governors Drive, Amherst. All UMass Transit fixed-route buses are numbered in the 3000 series. UMass Transit is a student-based organization with more than 90% of the employees (i.e. bus drivers, mechanics, dispatchers) being UMass students. Amherst PVTA is operated by one of the oldest student driver groups in the country, having been founded in 1969 as a demonstration grant from the Urban Mass Transit Administration. Today, UMass Transit Services operates 10 routes with a fleet of 40 transit vehicles (35' - 60'). Service runs 12 months a year, 20 hours per day, seven days per week, and is driven by over 150 student operators. UMass Transit Services transports more than 3.5 million passengers annually. Fleet (Fixed Route Vehicles)
Valley Area Transit CompanyThe Valley Area Transit Company (VATCo) operates the central portion of PVTA's service area. All of its routes originate from Northampton, providing connections to the UMass Transit service area via Route 9, and to the SATCo service area on the other side of the Mount Tom Range via Routes 5 and 10. VATCo, located at 54 Industrial Drive in Northampton, is managed by First Transit. All VATCo fixed-route buses are numbered in the 7000 series. Fleet (Fixed Route Vehicles)
National Express Transit (Paratransit Service)ADA Paratransit Service is provided by National Express Transit (NEXT) for the entire service area, except for the University of Massachusetts, where the UMass Special Transportation Service (operated by UMass Transit Services) provides service for University members. Amherst-area paratransit passengers who are not members of the University community are served by NEXT. All paratransit vehicles are numbered in the 5000 series. Hulmes Transportation Services (Community Shuttles)The fixed-route van shuttles (Ware-Palmer Circulator, Ware-Palmer Express, and Nashawannuck-Easthampton Express) are operated by Hulmes Transportation Services. These routes are operated by vans numbered in the 1200 series. RoutesHampden CountyThese routes are operated by the Springfield Area Transit Company (SATCo), except for the Ware-Palmer Circulator and Ware-Palmer Express, which are operated by Hulmes Transportation Services.
Amherst/UMassThese routes are operated by UMass Transit Services (UMTS).

ConnectionsPVTA offers connections to the following regional transportation agencies:
FaresOne-wayOne-way fixed-route fares are noted below. NOTE: UMass Amherst buses (3000-series) do not have fareboxes and operate via a proof-of-payment system (see UMass Transit buses below).

Ridership increaseRidership is up 12% in September 2014 and 9% in October.[47] Springfield mayor Domenic Sarno stated that people who choose to live without a car in city centre in market rate housing can step out and get transit virtually everywhere in New England. Accounting errors investigationAn audit in 2005 revealed that the PVTA made approximately $10 million in accounting errors on a transportation development project at Springfield's Union Station. Initial reports said PVTA could owe the federal government as much as $4 million.[48] That amount was reduced in 2009 to less than $1 million.[49] A federal probe in 2006 also targeted some PVTA employees. Subsequently, Administrator Gary Shepard resigned in 2006 after being put on leave by the Advisory Board, but he was never charged with any offense.[50][51] References1. ^{{cite
