Ride Gwinnett to merge services with Xpress

Beginning Monday, June 16, Ride Gwinnett commuter service will merge operations with Xpress, a regional commuter bus service operated by the Atlanta-region Transit Link Authority. Current Ride Gwinnett commuter customers are encouraged to review the upcoming service changes and plan for a smooth transition to Xpress.

These updates are part of the region's systemwide service changes to improve efficiency in response to decreased ridership and shifts in commute patterns following the pandemic. Visit our commuter page for more information.

Veterans paired with support animals

Veterans can foster a loving companion for a temporary or permanent home through Gwinnett's Paws of Service program. This initiative provides active-duty military personnel and retired U.S. veterans the opportunity to foster shelter animals for emotional support, with the possibility of adoption.

The Gwinnett County Animal Welfare covers all pet food and medical expenses at no cost to the foster family. If you're interested in learning more about this rewarding program or wish to apply, please contact 770.339.3200 or email AnimalWelfare@GwinnettCounty.com.
