The Read & Ride Bus Pass Program is extended through December 31! The CARTA-Library partnership will continue to offer area students free bus passes this fall! The Chattanooga Public Library and Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) are proud to announce that the Read & Ride program has been extended through December 31, 2024! Thanks to the popularity of the pilot program this summer, both the Library and CARTA will continue to offer free bus passes to K-12 students when they sign up for the Library’s fall reading challenge. The Read & Ride pilot program launched June 1, 2024, as a new incentive for students who participate in the Library’s summer reading program: Make.Play.Read.Learn. (MPRL). From June 1 - July 31, 2024, 2,166 K-12 students signed up for the MPRL reading challenge, and 677 of those students also picked up Read & Ride bus passes. As of July 26, 2024, CARTA had over 2,800 student bus rides since June 1, and the Library logged over 431,000 minutes read by students! “Everyday this summer, we’ve seen students use CARTA to visit our library branches,” said Dr. Lyn Hunter, the Library’s Youth Services Supervisor. “Even my kids are using Read & Ride! As both a librarian and a mom, I can say it’s been an incredible experience. CARTA gives these kids autonomy while still providing a safe mode of transportation, but that’s not all. They’re also supporting parents and caregivers who may not have the availability or means to get their kids around to all the great programs in Chattanooga.” The Read & Ride bus passes are available at any library location now through the end of the year. To get a card, students or their caregivers just need to register for the Read & Ride reading challenge at a library location, through the Beanstack app or at chattlibrary.beanstack.org. Passes for K - 5th graders will continue to cover the fare for an accompanying adult. CARTA provides transportation throughout the City of Chattanooga. More information about CARTA’s routes, schedules, and services can be found at gocarta.org. For more information about the Library, including programs, events and locations, visit chattlibrary.org.

Our SmartTransit team - a collaboration between Vanderbilt University, Cornell, Penn State, UT Chattanooga and Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) is excited to demonstrate and share the algorithms behind our research in multimodal public transportation systems at IJCAI 2024. We recently completed a short pilot in Clifton Hills in Chattanooga . The insights gained from this pilot are crucial in our long-term vision to provide on-demand microtransit services that act as feeders for high-capacity, fixed-route transit services. This innovative approach aims to enhance energy efficiency and equitable transit access in areas with low population density, combining the benefits of high-capacity transit and the flexibility of microtransit. The research is sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and in part by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), U.S. Department of Energy. #smarttransit Learn more about our work: https://lnkd.in/gJmcjU8r
