CATA’s Youth Pass gives riders 18 and under unlimited access to all CATABUS and CATAGO! routes throughout the summer.

With CATA’s free Youth Pass, young riders can make the most of their summer. Individuals can enjoy the community pool, participate in summer practices, go shopping, explore parks, attend campus events, and access many other locations throughout the Centre Region. Youth can do all of this without the hassle of finding a ride, dealing with traffic, or searching for parking. Riders can easily locate the nearest bus stops and view CATA’s bus routes using tools like Google Maps or the MyStop app. 

Here are the Details!
