This football season, CATS and Tepper Sports & Entertainment are launching the Game Day Express for all Carolina Panthers Home games. The Game Day Express will offer increased services on 61x (Arboretum), 64x (Independence Boulevard) and 177 (North Meck Connector). Customers using the service may park their cars at select Park & Rides along the routes with the purchase of an Express Bus ticket.
The MPTA and CATS are seeking applicants for two new transit rider-focused advisory committees—the Mobility Access Committee (MAC) and the Transit Riders Advisory Committee (TRAC). These committees will elevate rider experience into decisions that affect accessibility, service quality, customer experience and the future of our transit system.

Gold Line
Effective: Jan. 24-25, 2026
Gold Line Streetcar service will be suspended Saturday, Jan. 24 and Sunday, Jan. 25 due to the anticipated winter storm impacting the area this weekend. Predicted road conditions would not allow for safe travel along the streetcar. A bus bridge will not be in place because of these conditions.
Customers who must travel using transit this weekend are encouraged to use the CATS-Pass app to find the closest available bus stop and bus route. Please keep in mind there may be delays and detours. If possible, please consider delaying travel until the winter storm has passed.
Customers are encouraged to visit our our Inclement Weather Alert page by clicking this link: Inclement Weather Alerts, which will provide real-time bus detours caused by changing road conditions.
In addition, we will provide updates on the CATS-Pass app and official CATS X and Facebook accounts.
Those using transit this weekend should be mindful of slippery conditions while boarding and exiting transit vehicles. Stairs at Park & Ride locations will be closed. Elevators are operational. For questions or concerns, community members can speak to CATS Customer Service at 704-336-7433.
