Sources of Funding

CAT relies on three major sources for funding:
  • Passenger Revenue
    Passenger revenue ranges from 12-17% of CAT's operating funds. This is relatively standard in the industry for systems our size in this region.

  • Local Governments
    Appropriations from local governments represent CAT's largest single source of revenue.

  • Federal Government
    Federal contributions to transit systems represent a small percentage of funds which over the last 20 years have been shrinking. CATA is able to divert a portion of its Capital Funds to Preventive Maintenance costs in the operating budget.
