Shared Ride
Welcome Aboard
CATA’s Shared Ride service will pick you up at your door and transport you to your destination. Shared Ride is open to the general public. The service is called “Shared Ride” because there may be other people on the vehicle besides you, or the driver may need to pick up other passengers prior to dropping you off at your destination.
Fares may be paid in cash when you board the vehicle. Please have exact fare amount. Drivers cannot provide change. Another option is to pay in advance via a credit or debit card and CATA’s balance deposit feature. Please talk to your reservationist to arrange for pre-payment.
Many residents may qualify for free or reduced fare rides, including:
- Senior Citizens: If you are age 65 or over, you qualify for an 85% discount thanks to the Pennsylvania Lottery.
**Additional funding assistance may be available to Venango County Seniors. Contact the Venango
Office of Aging by visiting their website or calling (814-432-9767) to learn more.
- Persons with Disabilities: You may receive an 85% discount thanks to PennDOT’s Rural Transportation Program if you have a proven qualifying disability.
- CATA has many other programs that can also qualify you for discounted fares, such as if you have limited income. Ask the reservationist when you call to register for service.
