How to apply for Cottonwood Area Transit — Reduced-Fare Bus & ADA Paratransit (Yavapai County)
City of Cottonwood — Cottonwood Area Transit (CAT)
Who it's for
Cottonwood Area Transit runs fixed-route buses across Cottonwood, Clarkdale, and the Verde Villages, plus an ADA paratransit van service for people who cannot use the fixed-route bus because of a disability. Riders age 60 and over, people with disabilities, and veterans pay a reduced fare. Call 928-634-2287 to apply for ADA service or a reduced-fare pass.
Reduced fare (about half of the regular fare) applies to seniors 60+, people with disabilities, and veterans; ADA paratransit requires a disability-based application. Fixed-route service covers the Verde Valley area of Yavapai County; Prescott-area riders and rural Yavapai rely on other operators and NACOG AAA transportation. Fares set by the city and can change. Not legal or financial advice.
