At CATA, we take pride in our motto that “Every Trip Matters” along with our Core Principles of Integrity and Respect. Public Transportation is a lifeline service for rural communities. Our vision for the future is to enhance and expand mobility options for Crawford and Venango counties while continuing our core services of fixed route and paratransit bus service. CATA uses 3 primary vehicle types in our operation. Our fleet is comprised of Heavy Duy Low Floor Mass Transit buses that run on Compressed Natural Gas, accessible mini-vans and body on chassis paratransit vehicles operating on Propane Autogas and unleaded gasoline. All vehicles are fully ADA compliant. We offer fixed route as well as shared ride services along with our recently launched micro-transit service called Cata Go. Through our non-profit, Northwest PA Mobility Alliance, CATA operates the only rural public bikeshare program in Pennsylvania. We maintain over 30 bikes for public rental throughout Crawford, Venango and Mercer County with plans to expand in more locations.

💬 Today's CATA Quote comes to us from Candy Baker who was a wonderful help during our recent CATA Pay Day promoting the service and talking to just about everyone about how great CATA is! She has been taking rural transit for two decades now and started with Baker's Transportation, Venango Transit, and a little over 10 years ago CATA became the transit provider for Venango County.

Thank you for sharing your kind words and using rural transit to get you where you need to go! We are proud to provide our services to the communities we serve! 🚍 🐾
