STATE COLLEGE — Recent media reports have raised concerns regarding the potential shutdown of the federal government on Oct. 1 and its impact on public services.
The Centre Area Transportation Authority assures the community that normal operations will continue regardless of any federal government action.
While CATA receives substantial financial support from the federal government, our strong current financial position will, if necessary, ensure uninterrupted service for several months. In the event of a federal shutdown, all CATA services— including fixed-route CATABUS, CATAGO! on-demand microtransit, CATARIDE paratransit, and CATACOMMUTE Vanpool — will remain available and operate according to schedule.
