CAT Announces “Chatham Connects – Shaping the Future of Mobility”

Posted on October 7, 2022

Chatham Area Transit is taking a step toward the future of mobility with Chatham Connects, an initiative to develop a bold new vision for the transit system.

“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.”

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 evaluation and recommendation of short-term network and route changes as well the development of a broader vision for longer-term infrastructure and investment strategies. Final recommendations are anticipated by Summer 2023.
