Episode Synopsis

Buses may not grab the headlines, but they move Charlotte, literally.

In this episode, Clayton and Tesho sit down with Jason
Lawrence, Chief Transit Planning Officer at CATS, to talk about the Better
Bus Plan and how the upcoming one-cent referendum could transform the
way Charlotteans get around.

They unpack how the city’s bus system evolved over the past two
decades, who rides today, and what improvements, like faster routes, safer
stops, and better first-and last-mile connections,are on the horizon.

Jason also shares his own story, what keeps him passionate about transit, and how he sees Charlotte’s network adapting to a million-person future.

Because when it comes to building a connected, livable city, the
wheels on the bus don’t just go round and round, they move us forward.
