Charlotte, NC: Extending the LYNX Blue Line

Thursday, November 14th, 2013

The LYNX Blue Line in Charlotte is a popular, effective transportation option for people who live and work in and around the Queen City. Since opening in 2007, the 9.3-mile rail line has served more than 15,000 passengers daily, taking citizens to jobs, education, and sporting events.
Now, the Blue Line Extension will add 9 miles to the system, expanding the state’s first light rail corridor from Center City to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The expansion will support economic growth in the city and offer even more ways to connect people with places, goods and services.
