Chatham County Students can ride the CAT for free through the end of May with the Zero-Fare Pilot Program. This initiative is a semester long pilot program that offers students across Chatham County, including college/university attendees, the opportunity to utilize CAT fixed route and paratransit buses at no cost. This is NOT a change in usual services nor does this program take the place of school transportation. This is merely a pilot program that allows students to ride for free. The program is designed to eliminate financial barriers that deter students from utilizing public transportation, to increase ridership for fixed route service, to educate the next generation about public transit, and to promote confident lifelong public transit riders. K-12 students are asked to register via the CAT website, however a valid school issued Student ID can also be used for entry. College and University students can use their valid in-date college or student ID for participation. For more information and to register go to https://catchacat.org/studentfare/?fbclid=IwAR3Pktf3zFmHEz5bq_3cph5O-fyK2qeHlQseu_cRh_GDnrwJh43542S70b0
