May 12, 2010

Capital Area Transit (CAT) is pleased to announce that, effective May 17, there will be summer weekday bus service to Wildwood Park. CAT's Route 9 from downtown Harrisburg to HACC will be extended four times a day to the Benjamin Olewine III Nature Center.

"CAT's new service to Wildwood Park will provide more opportunities for groups and individuals to participate in the many programs and activities at the park," said Dauphin County Commissioner Nick DiFrancesco.

"Wildwood Park, an ecological jewel in the county's park system, has over 100,000 annual visitors," said Dauphin County Commissioner Jeff Haste. "We anticipate that this new service will only enhance the park's use."

"Just in time for the summer season, people should take advantage of this special service and enjoy the outdoors at the park," said Commissioner George Hartwick.

Jim Hoffer, CAT's Executive Director added "CAT is delighted to be able to provide environmentally-friendly service to the park. We look forward to not only working with the Dauphin County Parks, but also with groups and individuals in planning an outing at one of the recreational events at the Olewine Nature Center".

The new service will run Monday through Friday, arriving and departing at the Benjamin Olewine III Nature Center at 9:55 AM, 10:50 AM, 12:50 PM and 2:50 PM. Transfers from all CAT routes to the Route 9 bus can be made at the Downtown Transfer Center on Market Square.
