Fuel the Future:

For many adult learners, getting to class isn’t just a matter of MOTIVATION— it’s a matter of TRANSPORTATION.

With CATA bus rates recently rising to $2.50 per ride and the elimination of Bellefonte bus routes, affording transportation and accessing educational opportunities is even more challenging. For example, if a student takes the bus to class six times per week, that’s twelve rides per week—adding up to around $120 per month, just for transportation. This doesn’t include additional trips students take to go to healthcare facilities and other essential services.

"Transportation shouldn’t stand between someone and their goal of earning a GED, getting a job, or building a better life," said Bridget Schell, Executive Director at Mid-State Literacy Council. "With something as simple as a bus ticket or ride share gift card, you can help someone access life-changing opportunities."

Help change a life, one ride at a time.
