#ReadLocal

This is a fixed-route regional bus service connecting participating municipalities to downtown State College, the Penn State campus, Bellefonte and Pleasant Gap. Cash (exact change only), tokens and passes may be used as fare on any of the 23 routes. Fare for service is $1.75.

TRANSFERS

For people who want to take more than one bus to complete a one-way trip, transfers are free and serve as fares for the second ride. Transfers are valid for up to one hour. Ask the driver upon boarding the first bus for a transfer.

SENIOR CITIZEN FREE TRANSIT PROGRAM

Senior citizens (65 and older) may ride the system free by presenting the driver with a senior transit identification card. The card is available at the CATA offices at 108 E. Beaver Ave., State College. An application and proof of age are required.

CATABUS — CAMPUS SERVICE

The Loop and Link provide fare-free service around the Penn State campus and downtown State College.

The Loop comprises two routes that run at the same times and cover the same general territory, but they travel in opposite directions: the White Loop covers downtown and campus via Beaver Avenue while the Blue Loop covers downtown and campus via College Avenue.

The Link provides fare-free service on Curtin Road and Park Avenue between the east and west ends of campus.

The Red Link runs between Innovation Park and the White Course Apartments; the Green Link runs between the Beaver Stadium parking lot and North Atherton Street. Their schedules vary with the Penn State academic calendar.

CATARIDE

This service provides curb-to-curb transportation for those age 65 and older and people with disabilities unable to use fixed-route service. Advanced reservations are required and can be made by calling 238-6100. For information or to request an application and brochure, call 238-2282.

CATACOMMUTE

This family of services includes Ride Share, Vanpool, Emergency Ride Home and Park and Ride programs. These programs are designed to assist long-distance commuters in finding a shared ride.
