With head signs flashing the slogan “Paterno Proud,” the Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA), State College, PA, operated its fixed route service fare free on Jan. 26, the day of a public memorial service for Penn State’s legendary football coach Joe Paterno, who died Jan. 22. The free service provided some relief for on-campus traffic congestion and parking issues that day: CATA reported 37,762 trips during the day, about 3,000 more than its average weekday ridership. In addition, all CATA operators observed a moment of remembrance at 2 p.m., coinciding with the start of the service: they pulled to the side of the road at a safe location, secured their vehicles, and stopped.
