Charlotte: Rail and Greenways Now Form One Reading System
The City of Charlotte describes the Blue Line Rail Trail as an 11-mile pedestrian and bicycle facility running alongside LYNX light rail, connecting to 15 bicycle routes and multiple major destinations. Use the current Rail Trail guide. The Uptown CycleLink is being built to connect more than 40 miles of bikeways through center city. See the current CycleLink program.
CATS in October 2026
The Blue Line is back on normal operation after 2026 construction, with 15-minute peak headways restored. The Gold Line is operating and, since August 31, uses stop-request service for onboard passengers; CATS also describes its 17 stations across four miles and hybrid battery-capable Siemens S700 streetcars. Read the current Gold Line stop-request guidance.
Current Fares and CATS-Pass
CATS currently lists a $2.20 local one-way fare and a $6.60 day pass. Fare capping through CATS-Pass can upgrade eligible riders to a monthly pass after the monthly threshold is reached. Check current CATS fares.
NASCAR and Banking Explain Two Charlotte Economies
Charlotte is both a major US banking center and the metropolitan heart of much of the NASCAR industry. The vocabulary therefore moves deliberately from bank headquarters and Trade-and-Tryon urban form into race-car chassis, pit boxes and drafting. These are two different high-skill economic systems in the same city.
