Effective October 1, the Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) expanded its “family of public transportation services” by introducing vanpools to the Centre Commute program, CATA’s rideshare matching service.  RideShare, in operation since 1999, brings together people traveling from or through the same communities to work in the Centre Region, and helps them establish ridesharing arrangements.  Carpools and vanpools are cost-effective alternatives for long-distance commuters, who can enjoy the savings and convenience of sharing a ride to work or school. Persons interested in participating in a carpool or vanpool may self-register on the CATA website, www.catabus.com.

For more information on the Centre Commute Program, please visit the CATA website or contact Terri Quici, CATA RideShare Coordinator, at (814) 238-CATA(2282) ext. 134 or rideshare@catabus.com.
