“We’ve got to be willing to take some risk in order to make this system the most effective that we can.”

John Lewis is no stranger to the ins and outs of the transit industry, having worked for MTA, GRTC, and LYNX. Lewis, now the CEO at Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), joins Transit Unplugged to discuss the importance of folding the transit plans into the city’s development plans, CATS’ expanding rail system, first-last mile challenges, and why CATS needs to rethink the delivery of their bus service.
