CATS current fare policy recommends a fare increase every two years for local bus service.? ?CATS has proposed a 25 cent increase in local transit fare,? said Carolyn Flowers, CEO of CATS.? ?This increase is needed to keep pace with the cost of providing transit service.? Without a fare increase it will be difficult to maintain our current level of service for customers.??
Fares on other CATS? services will be adjusted accordingly.? The MTC adopted a fare policy in 2001. The objectives of this fare policy include making transit simple and convenient, encouraging ridership through affordability and meeting mandated financial goals.? The previous fare increase occurred in July 2010. ? ?
