STATE COLLEGE —The Centre Area Transportation Authority recently announced the launch of the CATAGO! mobile app, scheduled to replace the current TransLoc mobile app on Wednesday, Dec. 13.
The CATAGO! mobile app has been designed to improve service efficiency and rider education, along with providing a better understanding of our CATAGO! patrons so we can meet their needs efficiently. The app will provide real-time information on wait times, frequency and overall riding experience, for a pleasant journey for our passengers.
“Our customers’ satisfaction is our top priority, and we are confident that the CATAGO! app will provide a more efficient and enjoyable experience for everyone,” said Derek Sherman, ADA and OnDemand programs manager at CATA.
The CATAGO! app will be available for download Wednesday, Dec. 13, on both iOS and Android platforms. The app will include features such as real-time tracking of CATAGO! vehicles, estimated arrival times, route maps, service alerts, customizable notifications and more.
CATAGO! is an on-demand microtransit service similar to Uber and Lyft that offers a shared-ride, accessible, curb-to-curb shuttle service experience. CATAGO! operates within designated zones, with same-day trip reservations made through the CATAGO! mobile app or by phone.
“We are excited to launch the new CATAGO! app and look forward to providing an exceptional experience for our riders,” said David Rishel, executive director and CEO of CATA. “This app is a testament to our commitment to providing innovative solutions that meet the needs of our community.”
