Starting Jan. 9, Chatham Area Transit’s (CAT) Downtown Dot shuttle will run on a revised route.
The shuttle service is funded by the city of Savannah, Ga., and is comprised of two loops, Forsyth and Downtown, which connect Savannah’s visitor centers, parking facilities, attractions, shops, restaurants and hotels.
The revised Downtown Dot loop incorporates sections of Abercorn Street, East Liberty Street and East Oglethorpe Avenue and no longer travels down the east end of Bryan and Congress Streets. The loop will continue to serve the new parking garage at the Eastern Wharf development east of the downtown Historic District.
As a result of the change, new stops will be located at:
- Price and E. Liberty Streets
- East Broad Street near E. Bryan Street
The Dot’s Forsyth loop will remain unchanged, with shuttles traveling north along Drayton Street and south along Whitaker Street between Congress Street and Park Avenue.
The shuttles arrive every 10 minutes at 20 stops throughout the downtown Historic District and the service is available seven days a week. The shuttles are operating at half capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dot passengers are required to wear masks, as mandated by the Transportation Security Administration. Passengers without a mask can request one from an operator.
