Accessible Raleigh Transportation Program (ART)

If you are a Raleigh resident with a physical or mental disability that makes it impossible to drive a car and/or use CAT, you may qualify for the Accessible Raleigh Transportation Program (ART).

This program provides subsidized curb-to-curb transportation service through participating taxi companies within Raleigh's city limits. The program is funded and administered by the City of Raleigh.

Automated Bus Tracking

Automated vehicle locations (AVL) and projected real-time arrivals for CAT buses can be accessed by visiting www.raleighrides.org.

The Downtown Raleigh Alliance and the City of Raleigh have also introduced AVL and projected real-time arrivals for the R-LINE.
