CAT helps people cross the street. CAT asks drivers to be looking for pedestrians. CAT sees that the law says pedestrians go first. CAT agrees that our transportation system relies on everyone’s exercise of care.

CAT takes pride in our regional public transit system. CAT invites anyone to try transit by riding LANta bus. CAT’s Adopt-a-Bus Stop volunteers are here to help.

CAT’s Bicycle Cooperative is not a bike shop. CAT teaches you how to take care of your bike or build one from the frame up. CAT helps you get a good bike when you can’t afford one and you can’t afford not to have one. CAT rebuilds bikes for the community. CAT partners with schools, police departments, and bike shops.

CAT teaches kids the basics and reminds adults that we are not beyond the basics. CAT teaches kids to be responsible drivers. CAT teaches adults to cooperate, play nice, and feel like kids again. CAT shares skills for rebuilding relationships between people driving bikes and cars.
