Fare-Free Routes
In the fall of 1999, CATA and Penn State came up with an agreement in which CATA would take over all bus transportation on campus, which would be fare-free. Four routes were created as part of the agreement: The Blue and White Loop (in conjunction with the school's colors), and the Red and Green Link. All four routes run during the fall and spring semesters, including the summer which operates under a limited service schedule.
- Blue Loop - Clockwise route around the campus via College Avenue.
- White Loop - Counterclockwise around the campus via Beaver Avenue.
- Red Link - Runs from West Campus to Innovation Park via Curtin Road.
- Green Link - Runs simultaneously with the Red Link from the stadium parking lots to North Atherton, via Curtin Road. (Only in service on weekdays during Fall and Spring Semester.)
There also two regular routes (also known as the "Centre Line") that are fare-free at all bus stops on campus. These routes overlap the busiest portion of the Loop and Link routes, and help ease congestion on the Loop and Link for passengers to travel across campus:
- "HP" Toftrees/Scenery Park

Famous quotes containing the word routes:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
