Both the Blue Line and Gold Line will be closed for scheduled preventative maintenance from Saturday, April 25 at 2 a.m. until Monday, April 27 at 4 a.m. A bus bridge will replace all trains. From April 27 - 29 the Bus Bridge continues, but only between Scaleybark and Bland stations, to support South End Station construction.
As CATS prepares installation of a new track crossing as part of the South End Station project, a portion of the Rail Trail will be closed beginning April 19. As work is completed, sections of the Rail Trail will reopen (May-July).
There are two groups that support and provide guidance to CATS. The Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC) is the policy board for the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) and has responsibility for reviewing and recommending all long-range public transportation plans. The MTC is provided public input and guidance by The Public Transit Advisory Committee (PTAC), which was established by the MTC effective January 1, 2025, through an interlocal agreement between the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County and the six towns. PTAC replaces the Citizens Transit Advisory Group (CTAG) and the Transit Services Advisory Committee (TSAC). Those two public bodies helped shape the direction of public transit in the region and will continue to do so as the PTAC.
