CATS Gets Big Transit Boost

Charlotte’s transit system just got a $539 million financial boost thanks to a new one-cent sales tax, funding major upgrades without raising fares. Riders benefit from enhanced security, expanded Microtransit, and 3,500 extra bus hours. Key projects include South End Station, Hambright Park & Ride, 100 upgraded bus stops, new buses, and major progress on the Red and Silver Lines. This investment reflects the community’s demand for safer, more reliable, and accessible transit as Charlotte grows rapidly. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
