CATA is the Sixth Transit Authority in Pennsylvania to Adopt Modeshift’s Cutting-edge Mobile Ticketing Platform, Elevating Pennsylvania's Transit Systems Into the Digital Age
MEADVILLE, Pa.: Modeshift, a leading contactless fare collection system provider, announced today a partnership with Crawford Area Transportation Authority (CATA). The partnership will digitize CATA’s transit operations in Crawford county, providing a cutting-edge mobile ticketing platform for residents, comprising six intown bus lines in Meadville and four commuter bus lines to Meadville from Titusville, Cochanton, Conneaut Lake and Seagertown.
The new online and mobile platform will provide riders with a hassle-free ticketing solution, enabling them to plan, pay and validate rides with just a few clicks on their smartphones. This strategic collaboration aims to revolutionize the transit experience by introducing a seamless and convenient way for passengers to manage their commute online or with their mobile devices.
CATA is the latest Pa.-based transit agency to partner with Modeshift to modernize fare and data collection infrastructure. Most recently, Modeshift partnered with Hazleton Public Transit (HPT) and continues to see success in five other partnerships across the state.
“Our partnership with Modeshift will help CATA further our strategic goals to improve the riding experience, reduce cash collection in the fare box and enhance our services throughout rural communities,” said Timothy Geibel, Executive Director at CATA. “CATA provides crucial lifeline services, and we’re excited to implement new technologies that just a few short years ago were only available in larger, more urban settings.”
“This partnership between CATA and Modeshift underscores Pennsylvania's leadership in embracing digital transit technologies,” said Miroslav Katsarov, CEO of Modeshift. “CATA is becoming a trailblazer in the state's transition towards digital fare collection systems, enhancing rider experiences and shaping the future of public transportation in Pennsylvania. We are proud to collaborate with CATA on this journey towards a more efficient, accessible and sustainable transit system.”
Modeshift's innovative platform will offer a range of features designed to enhance the commuting experience for CATA riders, including:
The mobile ticketing platform will be available for CATA passengers this summer, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing transformation of Pennsylvania's transit landscape. With CATA as the sixth city in Pennsylvania to adopt Modeshift's cutting-edge technology, the state's transit systems are rapidly advancing into the digital age. By leveraging Modeshift's innovative platform, CATA is spearheading the state's transition towards contactless fare collection systems, setting new standards for efficiency, accessibility and convenience in public transportation.
