North Carolina's community, regional community, urban and regional urban transportation systems serve more than 62 million passengers each year. Since the fall of 2007 when it was initiated, Charlotte’s light rail system has served an additional 2 million passengers annually.

Economical and environmentally friendly public transportation is here to serve, connecting people and places in North Carolina.
