Yes, there is a trailhead adjacent to the trail in Deal. Lots of parking there and never heavily used when I’ve passed through there. I can’t offer any firsthand recommendations for a shuttle in that area. I might suggest you contact the trail side bike shop in Connellsville at:

They’ve been quite helpful to me and they’ve been there for sometime.
Perhaps one of the outfitters in Ohiopyle such as Wilderness Voyageurs could/would provide a shuttle. If you Google “GAP bike shuttle services” it will return a number of possible shuttle operators. That said, I do not have any personal experience with any of them.
