Community Impact
Empowering people, not just roads.
This plan isn’t just about pavement—it’s about people. By investing in healthier, safer, and more connected communities, Mecklenburg County is creating freedom of movement for everyone, reducing traffic, improving air quality, and giving families more time together.
Faster Commutes
450,000 more residents will live within a 10-minute walk of frequent bus service. That means less time stuck in traffic and more time where it matters—at home, at work, or with family.
Better Job Access
320,000+ additional jobs will be reachable by public transit. That’s more doors opening for workers and more talent accessible for local businesses.
Reliable Options
Transit that runs when you need it. Top 15 bus routes upgraded to 15-minute frequency, and every route countywide running 30 minutes or better. Dependable schedules mean every trip doesn’t need a backup plan.
Health Impact
Education Impact
Reliable transit connects students and families to schools, colleges, and training programs. Safer travel options help students arrive on time, while families gain confidence knowing education and career training are within reach across the county.
Opportunity & Equity
When every neighborhood is connected, opportunity spreads. Transit access means safer streets, cleaner air, and fair access to jobs, schools, and healthcare—no matter your zip code. Seniors, youth, and people without cars all gain more freedom of movement.
Workforce & Business Readiness
This investment fuels more than new routes—it grows local jobs, small business opportunities, and training programs that strengthen Mecklenburg’s workforce.
Contracting Opportunities
Small businesses have a direct path to participate in building the future of Mecklenburg’s transit system. From construction to support services, local vendors can register as county partners, review open bids, and apply with support every step of the way.
Workforce Development
New training and upskilling programs will prepare residents for thousands of transit-related jobs. From entry-level roles to advanced careers, these opportunities ensure Mecklenburg workers are ready to meet the needs of a growing region.
