We’re removing the hassle so visitors can focus on enjoying everything downtown Chattanooga has to offer.”
-Charles D. Frazier, Chief Executive Officer at Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA)
The pass is designed for locals and out-of-town guests attending:
- Sporting events and tournaments that draw regional competitors

- Extended visits to the Tennessee Aquarium, Creative Discovery Museum, and Hunter Museum, Incline Railway, Rock City, etc.
- Seasonal festivals and community events
