WASHINGTON D.C. — The American Public Transportation Association inducted three new members into the APTA Hall of Fame, one of which was the former general manager of the Centre Area Transportation Authority.
Hugh Mose, who worked in the transit industry for almost 50 years, served as general manager for CATA for over 19 years. He retired from CATA in 2014. Since then, he has done continual work in the transit industry and mentoring young professionals.
During his time at CATA, Mose helped lead the transit company to become the first East Coast transit system to have a fully natural gas-powered bus fleet. Additionally, he helped develop bus loops to better connect the local community and campus and create a program that allowed Penn State students to prepay their fare as a part of their rent.
Mose has also served as board chair for United Way, Rotary Club president, State College Transportation Commission chair and Foxdale Village’s clerk of the board.
The APTA Hall of Fame first opened in 1983 and inducts individuals who “have long and distinguished careers in the industry; who have made extraordinary contributions to public transportation; and who have actively participated in APTA activities,” the APTA website noted.
