History

The agency was created in May 1992 as the Chester Valley TMA, with 14 founding members. In June 1995, the name was changed to TMACC to better attract members from across the county.[11] In 2015, TMACC rebranded their buses to be green color and adopted the name "ChescoBus" for their bus routes; TMACC also installed new bus stop signs.[12][13] This was part of a move to attract riders to the routes, which serve portions of Chester County where mass transit is limited.[13] In 2015, Saturday service was restored to the agency's SCCOOT and Coatesville Link services.[14] Saturday service on SCCOOT was later dropped.
