  • CityLYNX Gold Line streetcar
  • The proposed Red Line Commuter Rail
  • The proposed Silver Line Light Rail
  • Intercity bus service
  • Taxi and ridesharing services

This signature multimodal station will anchor the larger Charlotte Gateway District development. The Gateway project is being implemented through a partnership between the City of Charlotte, North Carolina Department of Transportation, regional stakeholders as well as a future private partner.

Phase 1 – Infrastructure

In 2015, the City of Charlotte received $30 Million in TIGER funds, which along with state and local funding was used to complete this first phase.  Phase 1 construction consisted of track, structures, and signal infrastructure necessary to relocate the existing station and was complete in October 2022.

Phase 2 – Master Developer

Phase 2 will include the completion of the transit hub, including the intercity passenger rail facility and a bus facility to supplement bus operations at the existing transit center.  Phase 2 will also include a public-private master development that will integrate residential, commercial, retail, and transportation infrastructure.  A master developer has been selected, and the City of Charlotte and NCDOT continue to work with the master developer to advance the design plans to integrate all the transportation components into the overall development.
