About this Event

Where is transit in our region headed, and what will it take to get there? One year after Mecklenburg voters said yes, Transit Talks: A Year of Momentum looks at what comes next.

Join MPTA & CATS for a candid conversation about the progress so far and the work still ahead for transit in our region. The panel features:

Phillip Washington, President of Strategy & Client Service, Markets & Service. Former CEO, Denver International Airport and LA Metro.

David Longo, Founder, Chairman and CEO, CBI; MPTA Trustee

Andrea Smith, Chair, Bank of America Alumni Network

Moderated by MPTA Trustee and Board Secretary Christy Long.

What to expect

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with a reception featuring heavy appetizers, giving you time to meet neighbors and community partners before the program. The panel begins at 6 p.m. and includes a live audience Q&A, so come ready with your questions.

Whether you ride transit every day, run a business, or simply care about our region's future, this is your chance to hear directly from leaders and share your perspective.

Free parking is available at the CMGC Parking Deck (232 S. Davidson Street). Register today to save your seat. We hope to see you there.
