 The Chatham County Board of Commissioners and Chatham Area Transit (CAT) share a relationship that dates back to the transit authority's creation in 1986. At that time, the governing board included all nine county commissioners and four citizen members. In 2012, the Georgia Legislature revised the CAT Act, restructuring the board to include three county commissioners, two county residents, a City of Savannah alderman, a Savannah resident, and a representative from another municipality.
In recent years, Chatham County's representatives on the CAT board have raised concerns about the agency's operations, particularly regarding services in unincorporated areas, where service routes have been cut, and those funded directly by the County.
