Detours and Service Delays

Due to a route change, the Red Link (RL) does not service Innovation Park or Mount Nittany Medical Center.

Due to a software issue, the current HU Express MyStop map shows stop on Fox Hollow Road. The HU does not service these four stops: only the H route. When clicking the stop(s), a departure time does not show for the HU. CATA is working with their software partners to correct this issue. Thank you for your patience. 

Customer Service Center Hours

The Customer Service Center will be closed on Thursday, November 28, and Friday, November 29, in observance of Thanksgiving.
