Capital Area Transit System (CATS) is the public transit authority for Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It operates 60 buses on fixed routes and 20 paratransit vehicles. CATS also provides curb-to-curb service called CATS-On-Demand for disabled passengers. A recent study recommended that CATS integrate land use and transportation by adopting complete streets policies and developing a rail link between Baton Rouge and New Orleans to drive economic growth. CATS is also studying bus rapid transit lines and working on transit amenities to encourage multimodal transportation options. Public transit is an important economic development tool that yields returns on investment.
