Interim CATS CEO Brent Cagle talks to City Council.

Ely Portillo of WFAE shared details of the Charlotte City Council's approval of a plan for a private security firm to patrol more around boarding locations of the city's transit system. Charlotte Transit System (CAT) has received harsh criticism for a lack of security and/or police officers when it comes to the public's safety, on both the rail line and buses. Ely also shared results of a state Latino survey on health and job challenges. This interview originally aired in September 2025.
