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.

Rider’s Alert Rail Trail Effective: Sept. 15, 2025
Beginning Monday, Sept. 15, a portion of the Rail Trail will be closed for the Morehead Crossing project. This project is intended to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety of the Morehead Crossing ahead of the upcoming I-277 Pedestrian Bridge project. The closure is expected to be in effect until Nov. 1, 2025.
Blue Line operations and stations should not be impacted. Signs will be in place to guide Rail Trail users away from the affected area and back to an open portion of the trail. We will provide updates as they are available and appreciate your patience during this time.
