The service operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, excluding County holidays.

Stanly County Public Transportation Stanly County Public Transportation provides subscription and demand response community transportation services to Stanly County residents. Transportation includes trips to and from human service agencies, employment sites, businesses, medical centers (in and out of county), community college, senior centers, nutrition sites, YMCA, and daycares. CCTS has coordinated trips with Stanly County in the past, specifically for medical trips to the Durham area, but they have not coordinated trips in the past few years. According to COTS, it was taking too long for the vans to meet up and transfer passengers, which made people late to their appointments. Charlotte Area Transit System Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) provides transit service throughout the City of Charlotte /Mecklenburg County with over 70 bus and rail routes. The Concord Express Route provides weekday service between Concord and Uptown Charlotte. Stops in Concord are located at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the Big Lots on Concord Parkway. CATS provides ADA services within Charlotte's city limits through its Special Transportation Service. CCTS coordinated trips with CATS in the past, but they found it was more time - efficient to make the trip into Mecklenburg County themselves. As noted in Section 2.2, nearly 29,000 workers commute from Cabarrus County to Mecklenburg County each day; Attachment number 1 \n F -3 Page 98
