• Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Transportation is committed to ensuring that every student is focused on learning each day. CMS Transportation provides a gateway to academic achievement by facilitating safe, efficient, and equitable access for all students. 

    Over the years, CMS has increased the number of magnet programs offered, resulting in a growing demand for more transportation. The department has identified Express Stops as an alternative mode to increase access, increase system efficiencies, and improve the student experience. 

    As announced at by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education in December 2022, CMS Transportation will launch Express Stops for identified full and partial magnet high schools.

    Express Stops will not impact students who attend their home magnet or non-magnet schools.
