Downtown’s Electric Shuttle Service
CARTA’s involvement in electric vehicles started in 1990 when it decided to use electric (battery operated) buses for Chattanooga’s downtown shuttle. The Downtown Electric Shuttle is the easiest way to get around Downtown Chattanooga. It’s a FREE ride! Electric buses run daily* from the Chattanooga Choo Choo to the Tennessee Aquarium with stops at every block in between. Convenient access to the attractions, convention center, shopping, hotels & employment sites in the Downtown area. All Shuttle buses are wheelchair accessible. Since its initiation in 1992, CARTA’s Downtown Shuttle has carried millions of passengers.

Shuttle buses run about every 10 minutes, Monday through Friday 6:30 a.m. until 11 p.m., Saturday 9:30 a.m. until 11 p.m., and Sunday 9:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. For a detailed look at our schedule click here.
