CARTA Hosts Second Meeting On The Future Of Public Transportation, Proposes New Enterprise South Routes

  • Thursday, July 2, 2015
The Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority, will host a public update on the Multimodal Transportation Center Study on Thursday, July 9, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, Imperial Ballroom. Earlier this year CARTA launched this study to analyze existing bus routes and other opportunities to improve the region’s public transportation. The first public workshop on April 30 gave people a chance to provide feedback on how the current system works and how it could be made more effective, including the potential to create one or more multimodal centers around the city.

Public input is needed now as the study moves toward recommendations for overall system improvements and evaluates possible locations for a transportation center.
 CARTA will also inform the community of the proposed route changes and new service to Enterprise South.  “CARTA is very excited to be making changes that provide value to our riders and the community,” said Lisa Maragnano, executive director.  The goal of the MTCS is to create a new transportation center and gateway for the Chattanooga metropolitan area that provides personal transportation choices, enhances the image and effectiveness of public transportation, and serves as a catalyst for economic development.

As part of this process, the MTCS will assess existing CARTA routes and other opportunities to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of public transportation for the region.

All interested members of the public are welcome to attend this interactive session.
