Serving Greater Lansing since 1972, the Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA) was formed under Act 55 (Public Acts of Michigan 1963). The Authority’s governmental membership includes the Cities of Lansing and East Lansing and the Townships of Delhi, Lansing, and Meridian. CATA’s growth is really a growth in opportunity for thousands of area residents. Throughout the CATA service area employees, seniors, students and persons with disabilities step onto a CATA bus and step off into a wider world. At its beginning in 1972, CATA operated 14 fixed-routes and provided 750,000 rides. Today, there are over 30 fixed-routes and a variety of curb-to-curb services designed to meet the varied transportation needs of the local population.
