Transportation
Mass transit
The Charlotte Area Transit System, otherwise known as CATS, operates
trolleys, express shuttles and bus service throughout Charlotte and
its immediate suburbs. The 2025 Corridor System Plan seeks to add light
rail and commuter rail lines. Dubbed the LYNX, the lines will move passengers
along five key corridors and is expected to cost approximately $6 billion.
CATS has begun work on the $426.8 million light rail line which will
run from downtown to suburban Pineville. Plans for the Lynx and commuter
rail network will link uptown Charlotte with its immediate suburbs along
four additional key corridors.

Charlotte/Douglas International Airport is served by many international
and domestic airlines, and is the largest hub of US Airways. Some of
the major carriers serving the airport include American Airlines, Air
Canada, Continental, Delta, Northwest, United, AirTran Airways, JetBlue
and Lufthansa. Nonstop flights are available to many destinations across
the United States, Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America and Canada.
Highways
Two major interstate highways, 1-85 and I-77, intersect near the city’s
center. Charlotte’s beltway is nicknamed the “Outerbelt”

has been temporarily stalled for funding. Revised projections indicate
construction will be completed in 2013. Inside the city, the I-277 loop
freeway encircles downtown Charlotte. It is generally referred to by
its two separate sections, the John Belk Freeway and the Brookshire
Freeway. Charlotte Route 4 connects major roads in a loop between I-287
and I-485.

Charlotte is connected to the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Richmond, Raleigh, Atlanta, Birmingham and New Orleans via
Amtrak’s Crescent and Carolinian and Piedmont trains. The Amtrak
