CATS Seeks Input on Silver Line Light Rail Connection to Airport


The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is sharing information and soliciting community input on the LYNX Silver Line, a proposed 26-mile light rail project which would include a connection to Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

In a series of virtual public meetings, CATS will present various alignment options along with the benefits and challenges to be considered with each. A Sept. 16 meeting focuses on the area around the Airport. It begins at 5:30 p.m.

The LYNX Silver Line is currently in pre-project development. Staff is currently making tweaks and refinements to the adopted alignment, proposed to reach from the City of Belmont in Gaston County, through Center City Charlotte and the Town of Matthews, with a potential two extension into Union County.
