CATA ridership tops 250,000!
WIth the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2009 CATA has seen a sharp increase in our overall ridership. For the entire year, CATA buses provided over 250,000 passenger trips between all services! Whether it was a senior citizen riding the bus to the Senior Center in Canadohta Lake, an adult using the fixed route in Meadville to get to work or someone in Titusville going to a doctor’s appointment, CATA provided over 250,000 trips this past year.
With all the financial uncertainty, rising unemployment and other daily concerns, it’s nice to know that CATA is here for Crawford County. This past year, we have replaced our entire fleet of Meadville fixed route buses, totaling over $1,400,000.00, we added bus service to the new senior center in Linesville by offering services on Mondays and Fridays. We have also recently completed a transition from contracted service to direct CATA operation of all bus service in Titusville. There’s so much going on at CATA and it’s great to see that the Crawford County supports local bus service. Look for more updates in the next few weeks as we get ready to provide services for the Crawford County Fair and bring back the Loop route!
