Public Meetings on Microtransit, Conversion of Routes 97, 98, 99 and 290

The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) will host public meetings to inform riders about its microtransit service. The meeting will also cover the proposed conversion to microtransit of routes 97, 98, 99, 290, as well as the discontinuation of route 47x. These changes would occur in 2025.  

Microtransit is a convenient, on-demand transit option that uses smaller vehicles to provide point-to-point trips within designated zones. Microtransit is set to replace Village Rider routes 97, 98, 99 and route 290. Additionally, CATS is recommending the discontinuation of route 47x due to low ridership. 

CATS will hold public meetings at the following locations: 

- Oct. 14 at 6 p.m. virtual meeting via CATS YouTube  

- Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Huntersville Town Hall 
101 Huntersville-Concord Rd., Huntersville, NC 28078 

CATS personnel will also ride along and conduct surveys on select bus trips to gather additional public feedback.
