Explanation
§ On May 28, 2016, Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation opened its first public swimming beach since the 1970s. The swimming beach is located in Ramsey Creek Park in Cornelius.
§ To mitigate neighborhood traffic issues, Mecklenburg County approached the Charlotte Area Transportation System (CATS) to provide a fare-free shuttle service. Mecklenburg County agreed to fund 100 percent of the operating costs.
§ CATS has been providing the shuttle services since 2016. This action will continue the shuttle services.
§ The shuttle will operate starting Memorial Day weekend and continue to operate every 15 minutes (between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.) on weekends and holidays up to and including Labor Day, which will be the last day that the shuttle service will run each year.
§ The shuttle route will be between the CATS Cornelius Park and Ride and Ramsey Creek Park.
§ The seasonal operating revenue for service is $20,710.10.
