If the following proposal is instated, the changes will go into effect Aug. 21.
For the CATABUS service, Saturday and Sunday service would start at 8 a.m. and run until 12:30 a.m., and Sunday service would operate on the same routes it did before the pandemic.
The CATARIDE service would operate weekends from 8-12:30 a.m. but would no longer be available in Bellefonte or Pleasant Gap.
The CATARIDE fare would increase from $3.50 to $4 per one-way trip for ADA and Senior Shared Ride riders and from $23.35 to $26.65 for the general public starting Aug. 21.
The cost would increase again in August 2022 to $4.25 and $28.05.
The Centre Area Transportation Authority has proposed a number service changes to go into effect this fall, including eliminating four commuter bus routes and replacing three of them with the CATA Go microtransit service.
Public comment on the proposed changes can be made on the CATA website by emailing [email protected] or contacting CATA’s Customer Service Center at 814-238-2282. A virtual Community Input Meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 20, with log-in information available at catabus.com/proposed-fall-service. A public hearing will be held in late May before any changes are finalized.
If adopted, the proposed changes would go into effect on Aug. 21.
The Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) will return to running its full-service schedule starting Monday, February 15.
The increase in services will affect the Blue Loop, Red Link, and Green Link. The White Loop will remain inactive for the time being. There will be no changes to the bus services that operated throughout the fall months.
