Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority

Since 1973, the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) has operated as the local public transportation system for Chattanooga, TN. We offer fixed routes, paratransit, and most recently micro transit services. In addition, we own and operate The Incline Railway and Chattanooga Parking Authority.

CARTA also services the free, all-electric shuttle system which began in June 1992 that travels from St. Elmo through downtown to Northshore.
