Chatham Area Transit Authority (CAT) is providing an important update regarding student transit passes for the upcoming 2026–2027 school year.
The previous zero-fare student pass partnership between CAT and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) has concluded. Beginning with the new school year, students who ride CAT will need to purchase a CAT Student Pass by paying the discounted student fare of $0.75 per ride.
