Gov. Josh Stein

With so many people settling in Mecklenburg County, now is the time to make the critical infrastructure investments to keep the county a great place to live, work, and raise a family. This referendum will enhance safety, reduce congestion, and keep the region moving and thriving.

Lt. Gov. Rachel Hunt

Safer intersections and reliable transit protect families and help local business grow. The 1% transportation referendum is a smart investment with a big return for Mecklenburg County.

Black Political Caucus of Charlotte-Mecklenburg

This overwhelming vote of support demonstrates the unity of our members in recognizing the importance of this referendum to Mecklenburg County's future. We appreciate the oversight, transparency, and directing funds will remain in local control, with dollars staying within Mecklenburg County municipalities.

Charlotte Post Editorial Board

The 1-cent sales tax on Mecklenburg County transportation initiatives is a tough call for us to make. We see the daily traffic snarls across the county and needs for road and sidewalk upgrades. Anyone who’s tried to navigate Charlotte’s streets daily understands the challenges. The referendum has the support of Charlotte’s corporate community and community advocacy groups. There’s also a vocal cohort of opposition, which we share numerous concerns with. Still, we can’t ignore the very real urgency of new infrastructure for a region that’s adding hundreds of new residents by the week. We can’t depend on a dysfunctional federal government that’s more interested in supporting a would-be king than funding services for constituents and state government led by people who see little use for supporting urban North Carolina, especially if it involves rail. As a result, Mecklenburg is left with an imperfect, if not impossible, choice: go it alone with a local referendum or do nothing and fall further behind.

Real Estate & Building Industry Coalition

This plan isn’t about politics; it’s about better access to everything that matters: Faster Commutes, Job Access, Reliable Options, Better Roads.

Gene Woods

It’s time to unclog the arteries of our region and keep it moving, and we do that by saying yes to transportation, yes to better health, saying to economic mobility and saying yes to Meck.

Sherri Chisholm

[This tax] paves the way for expanded transit access and stronger connections to jobs, education, and healthcare, which are critical to advancing economic mobility. The transportation tax does not fix all of the issues that need to be addressed, but it is a very strong start and one that we must support.

Tesho Akindele

Voting “Yes For Meck” is a once in a lifetime opportunity to raise $20 billion to transform our roads and transit. Here’s how the money would be invested. Roads: $8 billion Trains: $8 billion Buses: $4 billion With over 157 people moving to our region every day - our choices are to invest now and keep moving, or do nothing, and get stuck in traffic

Sustain Charlotte

The future of Charlotte Mecklenburg depends on choices we make right now. We can build a transportation system that truly reflects our values of equity, sustainability, and opportunity, or we can leave too many families waiting for buses that do not come, navigating streets that are not safe, and breathing air that is not clean.
