What is the MPTA?

Now that the referendum passed, the Metropolitan Public Transportation Authority (MPTA) will be established. The 27-member board will include representatives from across Mecklenburg County and will steer the next chapter of public transportation in our region.

The MPTA is committed to transparency and accountability. Its role is to ensure that this investment delivers real results for our community—improving mobility, connecting neighborhoods, and supporting economic growth.

How the MPTA Board will be Formed
