Both the Blue Line and Gold Line will be closed for scheduled preventative maintenance from Saturday, April 25 at 2 a.m. until Monday, April 27 at 4 a.m. A bus bridge will replace all trains. From April 27 - 29 the Bus Bridge continues, but only between Scaleybark and Bland stations, to support South End Station construction.
As CATS prepares installation of a new track crossing as part of the South End Station project, a portion of the Rail Trail will be closed beginning April 19. As work is completed, sections of the Rail Trail will reopen (May-July).

Due to improving road conditions, Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) will operate Bus and Blue Line service on a regular schedule for Tuesday, Feb. 3. Express Bus Service will also operate under a normal schedule. Some select local revenue service bus routes will still be utilizing snow routes. Updated route information can be found by clicking this link: Inclement Weather Alerts.
The Gold Line remains suspended due to ice and snow along the line. CATS Micro will be operational with normal service hours. Customers are asked to prepare for possible delays due to road conditions, especially on neighborhood streets. STS services remain operational and team members will continue to work with customers directly.
The CATS street team, operators, facilities and other support staff continue to work around the clock to bring transit services back to full operations. We appreciate customers patience during this time.
