CATS Is The Way To Go

On your way to work, school, shopping or just out for a little fun, the increasing traffic you encounter every day is evidence that Charlotte-Mecklenburg has become one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation. In fact, the region is now home to more than 1.5 million people.

The good news for commuters is that CATS has kept pace with the wheels of progress. Charlotte currently operates the largest transit system between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, GA. Our goal has always been to provide safe, convenient and affordable transit services that support economic vitality and quality of life. Every time you use CATS you’re helping, too—by cutting down on traffic, keeping the air clean and helping our economy prosper.
