Charlotte is growing faster than ever, but how will we keep the city moving? In this episode of Building Connections, host Tracy Dodson sits down with Ned Curran and David Howard to unpack the upcoming 2025 Mecklenburg County Transportation Referendum.

From the history of Charlotte’s transportation planning to the challenges of North Carolina’s state-controlled road network, they explore why new funding tools are being proposed and what better mobility could mean for congestion relief, development, and the region’s future growth.

With 36,000 cars being added to our roads every year, Ned, David and Tracy discuss the need for a clear plan to manage that increase.

This conversation goes beyond headlines to give you the context and clarity you need on one of Mecklenburg County’s biggest decisions.
