Beginning in November and continuing through early December, CATS will begin the next phase of system upgrades along the Blue Line, which will require scheduled single-tracking periods and Rail Trail detours near the new pedestrian crosswalk by Publix. These improvements support construction of the new station in South End and essential maintenance.

All RoutesEffective: Jan. 27, 2026
The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) will resume limited service beginning at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27. Out of an abundance of caution, services will again end at midnight on Tuesday. The last Blue Line train will leave UNC Charlotte and I-485 stations at midnight. The final bus routes will depart the Charlotte Transportation Center at midnight.
