Our Vision
CAT envisions a world where bicycling, walking/ADA accessibility, and public transportation prevail.
Our Programs
Bicycling
CAT envisions a Lehigh Valley that is safe & fun for riders of all ages. Whether it’s for commuting, exercise, or pleasure, bike riding is for everyone! Besides our advocacy, we offer rides, classes, and more!
Public Transit
Public transit reduces traffic congestion, need for parking lots, improves air quality and provides mobility for all.
CAT’s Adopt-a-Bus Stop program partners with LANta Bus to provide dignity to public transit riders, residents, visitors, and businesses.
Walking
Walking is the original means of transportation! CAT promotes pedestrian/ADA access and quality of experience across the Lehigh Valley. Walking reduces reliance on automobiles for short trips and encourages physical fitness and overall health.
CAT Bicycle Cooperative
Come into CAT’s community space to repair your own bike, volunteer, help others with theirs, rebuild a bike, get advice, donate a used bike, and more!
