In partnership with Ingham County, CATA will provide transit service to this year’s Ingham County Fair which runs Monday, July 31, through Saturday, Aug. 5, 2023.

The Eaton County Transportation Authority (EATRAN) provides public transportation services to Eaton County residents through open-door, curb-to-curb rides within the county; out-of-county medical trips and an express bus to downtown Lansing. Eaton County residents currently pay a 0.25 mill property tax to support EATRAN. Efforts are underway to improve service and regional transportation connections, including communities in Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, Dimondale, Grand Ledge, Olivet, Potterville, Bellevue and Delta Township. The system currently operates from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Capital Area Transportation Authority announces its 2023 summer and fall Listening Bus sessions hosted on CATA’s fixed-route buses. The program allows riders to conveniently share constructive feedback about their experiences with CATA’s fixed-route service as they travel to and from their destinations. CATA representatives will be aboard buses to interact with customers and document their feedback.

To ensure transportation for those who wish to vote on the Webberville Community Schools Sinking Fund Millage Proposal or the Delta Charter Township Public Safety Facility Storage Building Bond Proposal, CATA will offer system-wide free rides to the polls Tuesday, May 2, 2023.

No ID or proof of voter registration is required. Riders should simply inform the driver that they wish to vote to board for free.

CATA’s Spartan Service, which provides additional bus service during Michigan State University’s fall and spring semesters, will conclude for summer break following MSU’s commencement weekend.

Look to the road for your dream career. The Capital Area Transportation Authority and Eaton County Transportation Authority are hosting job fairs Thursday, May 4, 2023. On-site interviews will be conducted throughout the events.

Both transit agencies are recruiting new bus operators to serve the Capital City region. CATA is also looking to fill mechanic and other full-time positions.

Ingham County parks offer a myriad of year-round activities unique to the outdoors. An initiative to give residents greater access to some of its most prestigious parks led Ingham County’s Parks Department to partner with CATA on a year-round fare-free transportation program.

Under the new program, the Ingham County Parks Department earmarked funding to purchase curb-to-curb transportation service to the four parks it manages: Lake Lansing Park North and South, Burchfield Park and Hawk Island Park. Transportation will be provided by CATA Redi-Ride, Rural and Spec-Tran services.

Look to the road for your dream career. CATA will host a job fair March 10 at the Lansing Center. On-site interviews will be conducted for bus operators, mechanics and other full-time positions, all offering competitive wages and excellent benefits.
