About this Event
Ready to feel confident getting around Charlotte without a car? Join us for a hands-on transit training where you’ll learn how to use Charlotte’s public transportation in real life, with support from our team and a friendly group.
We’ll meet at 9:30 AM at Atherton Mill in South End. Before we board, we’ll practice reading the schedule, getting your ticket ready, and knowing where to wait and how to get on the train. Then we’ll ride the 10:16 AM light rail train to the Transit Center in Uptown. Once we arrive, we’ll take a relaxed walking tour of Uptown, visit a few landmarks, and stop for coffee together.
We will provided your transit pass.
This experience is open to everyone, and it’s especially designed for older adults and first-time riders. We’ll move at a comfortable pace, with time to rest and plenty of time to ask questions. Our team will be there to help anyone who needs a hand boarding the train, finding a seat, or getting around Uptown. If you have any mobility or accessibility needs, let us know when you register so we can plan ahead.
