This accretion also contains copies of the Capital District Transportation Authority YouTube page that was captured on April 28, 2011. Researchers should note that, owing to the structure of the live pages and the limitations of Web archiving technology, most of the information contained within these pages could not be captured properly.

Researchers should also note that repeated attempts to capture the authority's Twitter feed in 2011 were not successful.

It contains additional annual reports (2004-2019), newer annual budgets (2007-2018), and recent route changes and service alerts (2020).
