The Lynx Silver Line is a proposed east–west light rail line in Charlotte, North Carolina.[2] The Silver Line would connect the outlying cities and towns of Belmont, Matthews, Stallings and Indian Trail to Uptown Charlotte and the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. In the refined locally preferred alternative (LPA), released in early 2021, the route is estimated to be around 29 miles (47 km),[3] with 29 stations and one maintenance facility.[4]

The proposed light rail route was a merger of two earlier projects known as the Southeast Corridor, a proposed light rail line between Uptown Charlotte and CPCC Levine Campus in Matthews, and the West Corridor, a proposed streetcar line between Charlotte-Douglas International Airport and Uptown Charlotte.[5]
