With freezing temperatures and strong winds affecting the city, local authorities are taking action to help those in need. The Mayor's Office has announced that the Capital Area Transit System (CATS) will offer free rides to designated warming centers and shelters for the homeless and economically disadvantaged.

These warming centers provide a safe place to escape the cold and protect vulnerable individuals. Residents in need can rely on CATS to transport them to shelter.

Details about shelter locations, operating hours, and how to access the free CATS rides are available through the Mayor's Office.
