Fare-free services
There are currently three free downtown (dot) shuttles:[3]
- Forsyth Loop
- Downtown Loop
- Savannah Belles Ferry
The Downtown Loop was amended in January 2022 to incorporate sections of Abercorn Street, East Liberty Street and East Oglethorpe Avenue, with new stops added at Price and East Liberty Streets and East Broad Street near East Bryan Street. It would no longer serve the eastern end of Bryan and Congress Streets.[4]
In January 2024, CAT began a four-month pilot program offering students fare-free rides around Chatham County. It replaces a 50% discount program. Some parents had concerns that their children would be sharing buses with the general population.[5]
