## Resource

Charlotte’s transit system just unveiled its winning art for next year’s monthly passes—three local artists took top honors in a contest themed “Where do you move forward?” Kristin Lozoya’s vibrant bus scene won first for the Local pass, Ken Knudtsen’s design snagged second for Express, and Tyler Baum took third for Express Plus. Their pieces, chosen by a panel of transit and art experts, capture Charlotte’s energy and growth. And hey—it’s not just pretty artwork: CATS actually budgets 1% of its construction funds for permanent public art, so every pass you buy next year will carry a piece of the city’s soul.
