Corporate CAT Pass Program

The Corporate CAT Pass Program is a discount pass sales agreement between the Central Arkansas Transit Authority (CATA) and employers that reduces the cost of public transportation for employees.

How Corporate CAT works
Employers who participate in the Corporate CAT program sell CAT's $36 Adult 31-Day Pass to their employees for $30.00. Employees get the benefit of a $6 discount and the convenience of buying their passes at their workplace. And it's hassle-free to the employer. Passes are delivered to employees on a consignment basis. You pay only for those passes your employees buy.-->

Cost to the employer
Only an hour or two of one employee's time each month.

  • Savings on gas, oil, maintenance and parking.
  • Convenience of buying passes at the workplace.
