Redesigned canntran.com makes it easier to explore routes, senior transportation, accessible services, fare-free transportation, and more across Cape Ann.
The Cape Ann Transportation Authority (CATA) has launched a redesigned website at canntran.com, giving residents, commuters, seniors, riders with disabilities, and visitors an easier way to find transportation services and plan trips throughout Cape Ann.
CATA provides public transportation throughout Gloucester, Rockport, Ipswich, Essex, Hamilton, and Manchester-by-the-Sea, connecting people with work, healthcare, shopping, community resources, local destinations, and the MBTA Commuter Rail.
The new, mobile-friendly site brings CATA’s many transportation options together in one place with clearer navigation, more detailed service information, and practical resources designed around what riders need to know
