CATA - Crawford Area Transportation Authority

CATA - Crawford Area Transportation Authority CATA provides mobility for Crawford, Venango, Clarion and Forest counties. CATA provides mobility for all! CATA is comprised of over 50 vehicles.

At CATA, we take pride in our motto that β€œEvery 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.
