History

File:CTC Bus Stop Pylon, Baton Rouge, LA.jpg

Originally formed as the Capital Transit Corporation by the City of Baton Rouge, the system came to be known as the Capital Area Transit System in 2004 during a re-branding of the agency.{{cite web|title=Baton Rouge Public Transit History|url=http://theleif.org/tools/baton-rouge-public-transit-history.php|website=theLeif.org}} CATS was later defined by an act of the Louisiana Legislature in 2005.{{cite web|title=CHAPTER 10. CAPITAL AREA TRANSIT SYSTEM ACT |url=http://wwwprd.doa.louisiana.gov/boardsandcommissions/StatutoryCitations/206_R.S.48%201451-1461.docx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130409230306/http://wwwprd.doa.louisiana.gov/boardsandcommissions/StatutoryCitations/206_R.S.48%201451-1461.docx |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-04-09 |website=Louisiana State Division of Administration }} The act established the transit agency and dictates its governance but did not create any revenue source for CATS. Ballot measures to create tax revenue for the system failed to pass in 2009 and 2010, and attempts to reduce service further and increase fares were rejected by the Metro Council, leaving CATS facing a budget shortfall that would have resulted in a complete system shutdown by midyear 2012.{{cite web|title=CATS tax proposal focuses on municipalities|url=http://www.brac.org/brac/news_detail.asp?article=1359|website=Baton Rouge Area Chamber}} CATS finally found stable funding that same year and avoided shutdown when voters in the cities of Baton Rouge and Baker approved a property tax increase.{{cite web|title=Turnout matters – how Baton Rouge voters passed a tax increase|url=http://winwithjmc.com/archives/4002|website=JMC Enterprises}}

Criticisms

The agency is often criticised as providing unreliable service, with delays of an hour or more common. Although CATS has worked to address this issue, proponents of the system have voiced concerns that progress has been slow and some changes lacked proper planning.{{cite web|title=CATS trying to rebrand its public image |url=http://theadvocate.com/csp/mediapool/sites/Advocate/assets/templates/FullStoryPrint.csp?cid=6214803&preview=y |website=The Advocate |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140607001148/http://theadvocate.com/csp/mediapool/sites/Advocate/assets/templates/FullStoryPrint.csp?cid=6214803&preview=y |archivedate=2014-06-07 }}

Louisiana State University created its own shuttle service, Tiger Trails, in 2008 due to complaints rising from CATS's service to and from the campus.

Brian Marshall resigned as CEO on April 22, 2013 due to controversies surrounding the agency.{{cite web|title=Capital Area Transit System CEO resigns|url=http://www.wect.com/story/22046478/capital-area-transs-ceo-resigns|website=WECT.com|access-date=2014-06-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140606211509/http://www.wect.com/story/22046478/capital-area-transs-ceo-resigns|archive-date=2014-06-06|url-status=dead}}

Bob Mirabito resigned as CEO on May 6, 2016 due to controversies and criticisms regarding his operation of the agency.{{cite news|title=CEO Bob Mirabito resigns. Capital Area Transit System. Archived from the original |url=https://www.businessreport.com/business/cats-ceo-bob-mirabito-resign-may}}

CATS OnDemand

The buses that operate CATS fixed routes are equipped to accommodate most riders with disabilities. For riders whose disability prevents them from using the standard routes at all, CATS provides the OnDemand paratransit service. An application process must be followed prior to using the service, and all start and end points must be within 3/4 mile of the CATS service area. Paratransit customers pay the same $1.75 fare.{{cite web |title=Paratransit |url=http://www.brcats.com/paratransit |website=Capital Area Transit System |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517003441/http://www.brcats.com/paratransit |archivedate=2014-05-17 }}
