About Us

Investing in Mecklenburg’s future, together.

Our mission Is Simple.

Make life in Mecklenburg easier, safer, and more connected. Every day, people here lose valuable hours stuck in traffic or cut off from opportunity because our transit system hasn’t kept pace with growth. This plan changes that.

Investing in People, Not Just Infrastructure

Yes for Meck is a countywide campaign supporting a $20 billion investment in transportation — the largest in our history. Mecklenburg County is growing fast, and without action, traffic congestion, limited bus service, and safety concerns will only get worse.

This plan is about more than new roads and rail lines. It’s about giving people back their time, connecting neighborhoods to jobs and schools, making commutes safer, and creating healthier, more equitable communities.

By voting YES, residents have the chance to shape a future where everyone — no matter where they live in the county — has better access to opportunity and more freedom to move.
