CATS Provides Fare-Free Service on Election Day

On Tuesday, Nov. 4, the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) will provide fare-free rides on all CATS services to polling locations region-wide. Start your journey today by clicking the following link and discovering your polling location: My Election Day Polling Place

Download the CATS-Pass app to make your trip to the polls easier than ever before. While you won't need to purchase a ticket, you can use the app to seamlessly plan your route and track your ride in real-time. For questions or concerns, contact CATS Customer Service at 704-336-7433

Riders utilizing the MAA LoSo Parking Garage (3750 S. Blvd.) will need to pay parking fees if they don't have an eligible CATS Monthly, Weekly or Day pass for validation. Round-trip and one-way fares cannot be used for parking validation at this Park and Ride.
