Public Meetings on Microtransit, Conversion of Routes 97, 98, 99, 290 and Discontinuation of 47x

The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) will host several public meetings to inform riders about its microtransit service, the proposed conversion of routes 97, 98, 99, 290 and the discontinuation of route 47x. These changes would occur in 2025.

Microtransit is a convenient, on-demand transit option that uses smaller vehicles to provide point to point trips within designated zones. Microtransit is set to replace Village Rider Routes 97, 98, 99 and Route 290.

CATS is also proposing the discontinuation of Route 47x due to low ridership.

CATS will hold public meetings at the following locations: 

• Aug. 27 from 5-7 p.m. at Huntersville Gateway Park and Ride 
  • 10300 Compass St., Huntersville   
• Aug. 29 from 5-7 p.m. at Davidson Town Hall & Community Center - Lower Level
  • 251 South St., Davidson 
• Sept. 3 from 5-7 p.m. at Northlake Mall at the Route 99 bus stop
  • 6801 Northlake Mall Drive, Charlotte
• Virtual viaCATS YouTube
  • Sept. 4 at 5 p.m.
• Sept. 5 from 5-7 p.m. at Cornelius Park and Ride 
  • 20300 Sefton Park Road, Cornelius 

CATS personnel will ride along and conduct surveys on select bus trips to gather additional public feedback.
