From the Director
We Keep the Gulf Coast Rolling For You!
We are here to
provide good quality transportation services for the MS Gulf
Coast. During this time of record-high inflation and employee staffing shortages,
CTA is working
hard to provide you with convenient,
safe, and affordable transportation. For around the cost of one tank of gas in a car, you can buy a 31-day pass that will provide unlimited rides on
the entire CTA Fixed Route system. We are providing affordable and reliable work transportation for employees and
helping employers with recruitment
and retention.
We are constantly working to improve the quality of the bus ride
experience. In February 2023, we put three new fixed route buses in service on routes
#4 D’Iberville,
#7 Ocean Springs, and #38 West Gulfport.
Our environmentally friendly bus fleet
of propane, hybrid electric, and pure electric buses is helping preserve our beautiful Gulf Coast environment. We are clean and green.
The Tram Bridge project on Hwy 90 in Gulfport is on budget and ahead
of schedule. Current schedule has the
public using this new pedestrian bridge to access the many events in Jones Park safely and quickly in January 2024.
We greatly appreciate the Gulf Coast giving us the opportunity to serve you. Let us know how we are doing and how we can improve your riding experience. For additional information,
give us a call at 228-896-8080 or visit www.coasttransit.com. Follow Coast Transit Authority on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to learn the latest news.
