CATABUS service includes two groups of routes: The Community Service (formerly Centre Line) and the Campus Service bus systems. Community Service (formerly Centre Line) consists of 20 different community bus routes, which provide service between Downtown State College, the Penn State Campus, the borough of Bellefonte, the village of Pleasant Gap, suburban shopping centers, apartment complexes, residential areas, governmental offices, and many other special points of interest. The Campus Service consists of four integrated routes (LOOP and LINK) that provide fare-free campus/downtown circulator and cross-campus shuttle service.

CATACOMMUTE is a family of CATA services that includes RideShare, Vanpool, Guaranteed Ride Home, and Park & Ride programs. These programs are designed to assist long distance commuters in finding a shared ride with someone who travels at the same time and to a relatively similar destination. The Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program provides an emergency ride home for those in rideshare arrangements when the need arises, taking the fear out of being stranded. The Park & Ride program provides commuter parking for downtown employees on the east side of Penn State campus, with fare-free bus service to the downtown area.

CATARIDE (formerly Centre Ride) provides curb-to-curb transportation for senior citizens and people whose disabilities prevent their use of the CATABUS buses. CATARIDE is open to anyone, but only those age 65 or over or those eligible for paratransit under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) may use CATARIDE at reduced fares. Both senior citizens and people with disabilities who wish to utilize CATARIDE at reduced rates must complete an application, which if approved, will result in the issuing of a CATARIDE photo identification card provided at either CATA office
