TRANSFERS: If you are using cash or tokens as fare and you need to take more than one CENTRE LINE bus to complete a one-way trip, ask the driver of the first bus you board for a transfer. Transfers are free and serve as a substitute fare for the second bus ride needed to continue your one-way trip. Transfers cannot be used for return trips.


  • PASSES: For frequent riders, CATA offers the "OnePass", good for unlimited rides on all CENTRE LINE routes. Special pass prices are also available for Penn State Employees, families of three or more and middle school/high school students (Summer only). 

    OnePass Prices
    Passes may be purchased at either CATA office

    If you already have a OnePass, you can now order your next pass by mail. Click on this link for the order form, which includes instructions and must be completed and mailed to CATA with your payment. You may copy the form for future orders or print a new one each time. Please call CATA at 814-238-2282 x450 if you have questions about how to order a pass by mail.



    The “ONEPASS” is available in monthly increments ranging from 1 to 12 calendar months, covering the month in which you purchase the pass through the last day of the last month selected. The “ONEPASS” is valid the day of purchase, so your first month begins in the month you purchase your pass. You may add a half month (from the 16th to the 30th/31st or from the 1st to the 15th) to the beginning or end of any pass for $25. # of Months Individual Price w/ Family Option
