Discover How You Can Support the Charlotte Transportation Referendum

 

The Mecklenburg County Commissioners have approved the inclusion of a proposed 1-cent sales tax increase on the upcoming November ballot. This pivotal referendum will shape the future of a transformative $25 billion regional transportation initiative—expanding road infrastructure, advancing rail development, and enhancing bus and microtransit services over the next 30 years.


Under the proposed plan:

  • 40% of funding will be allocated to road improvements
  • 40% will support rail expansion
  • 20% will enhance bus operations and fund on-demand microtransit solutions
