There are far fewer times that I have passed by our Man at the Wheel and not taken a photo than there are times that I have taken photos. Time and time again I find myself taking pause at how his presence helps define our city.
So much for a soft opening 😂
Many of you will recognize this barn as the Windward Grille on Eastern Ave! Though I have not been back since they reopened for indoor dining, I look forward to going soon as it is one of my favorites. I do not know the history of the building but it was at one time clearly a barn and therefore qualifies for a Barn Along the Byway.
CATA On Demand is a public, on-demand transit service. Think of us like a minibus that comes when you want, where you want–give us your pickup and dropoff addresses, and we’ll provide a few ride options. Choose the one that works best for you and we’ll send a driver your way.
Service hours: Monday-Friday 7:30am-8pm.
Price: $2 per trip.
Your employer may be participating in a program that lets you unlock free rides–check with your company directly for more info.
Can I book rides without a smartphone?
Yes, simply call (978) 283-7916 and we’ll assist you over the phone.
Can I book a ride in advance?
Absolutely. See above for instructions.
Can I bring someone along with me?
You can bring up to 2 additional passengers. Please note that each additional passenger costs $2.
Why am I being asked to walk to my pickup spot?
Our tech pairs riders heading in the same direction, meaning passengers might be getting picked up and dropped off throughout your ride. In order to keep things moving as quickly and efficiently as possible, we usually ask you to meet us at a nearby corner instead of right outside the address you entered — that way, the driver doesn’t have to make any detours that could slow things down.
How do I know where to meet my driver?
After you book a ride, the app will display your pickup spot — we’ll either give you the address or business name at your pickup spot to help you find it. Either way, there will always be a dotted line to show you how to get there!
What happens if I cancel my ride?
If you cancel a ride, there’s no charge. However, please remember that CATA On Demand is a community service and cancelling rides can impact other riders. If the driver cannot locate you after the 2-minute waiting period, you’ll be charged a no-show penalty of $1.
What do I do if my driver left without me?
Re-book directly in your app, and then send an email explaining what happened to CATAOnDemand@canntran.com. You won’t be charged for this ride
What do the vehicles look like?
All vehicles are branded with CATA On Demand’s logo and colors, so they should be easy to spot.
Are vehicles wheelchair accessible?
Yes! Please let us know you need a WAV when you book your ride by tapping your profile picture or image at the top of the app menu and tapping the Wheelchair toggle to turn it on.
Can I change my destination once I’m on board?
Once you start a ride, the destination cannot be changed. If you have not yet boarded the vehicle, you can cancel the ride and re-book with a new destination.
Can I set a favorite location in the app?
Yes. Tap the Favorites tab in the app menu, then tap Set Home Address or Set Work Address and type in the address of your preferred location.
Can I leave feedback for my driver?
Feel free to fill out the feedback screen in the app after your ride.
How do I reset my password?
Open the app and select Get Started. In the password box, select Forgot your password? and follow the prompts.
I left something in the vehicle–how do I retrieve it?
Please email us at CATAOnDemand@canntran.com or give us a call at (978) 283-7916 with a description of the missing item.

Over the years, the Annual Art Auction, a major fundraiser for the Rockport Art Association & Museum (RAA&M), has become a highly anticipated event. As a prestigious art auction, it attracts serious collectors throughout the country, as well as those just starting an art collection.
Live online from the RAA&M’s Hibbard Gallery, this year’s auction features works by master Cape Ann artists of the past including Harry A. Vincent, Emile Gruppé, W. Lester Stevens, Aldro T. Hibbard, Anthony Thieme, Antonio Cirino, Charles Kaelin, William Meyerowitz, Charles Paul Gruppé, Paul Strisik, Charles Vickery, Don Stone, Charles Movalli, Bernard Corey, Al Czerepak and Otis Cook, among many others. The auction specializes in Cape Ann art, but is not limited to this region and also includes works by numerous other prominent historic American artists.
The auction, now in its 36th year, began with a bequest by founding RAA&M member Antonio Cirino (1888-1983). Cirino left his artwork to the Association with the stipulation that the art be auctioned to help support the organization. The auction quickly evolved to include other historic Cape Ann artists, and has been the Association’s major annual fundraising event ever since.
