On July 25, 2023, Chatham Area Transit’s Board of Directors approved the Master Transit Plan that will redefine public transportation standards in Chatham County and beyond.
This initiative, in partnership with Chatham Connects, will respond to changing mobility needs by developing regional mobility strategies, including considering new ways of offering public transportation. The project scope includes the evaluation and recommendation of short-term network and route changes as well as the development of a broader vision for longer-term infrastructure and investment strategies.
“As our region continues to thrive, we have an opportunity to think holistically about what the future of transit can and should be for Chatham County,” says Faye DiMassimo, CEO of Chatham Area Transit. “Advances in technology, evolving workplace practices, and our growing economy are changing our mobility patterns and CAT wants to be at the forefront of meeting our community’s diverse transportation needs.”
