Lewis is leading the agency through a significant stage of growth to construct the LYNX Blue Line Light Rail Extension and advance the CityLYNX Gold Line Phase 2 streetcar through final design and into construction.
Providing over 25 million customer trips each year, CATS has added light rail and streetcar service, which has increased ridership exponentially.
The 9.3 mile LYNX Blue Line light rail extension will add service along what will become an 18.6-mile corridor in Northeast Charlotte and will help to reduce congestion along Interstate 85 and US 29, where commercial and residential growth is expected to continue.
The Charlotte Area Transit System’s planned light rail extension could cost as much as $1.1 billion. Officials are looking at cutting stations, amenities and three-car platforms.
