What's new?

Microtransit is coming to Snellville

The Gwinnett County Transit team is excited to debut the new Microtransit Pilot! Beginning September 17, GCT will launch door-to-door service in the Snellville area. Providing an on-demand public transportation option, riders will be able to be picked up and dropped off by the push of a button on the Microtransit app or by phone for FREE. The service area covers a large portion within the Snellville city limits. After six months, the test period will conclude, and Gwinnett County Transit will analyze the data with plans to roll it back out the following year. These are areas currently without local transit options, and have been recognized in the Connect Gwinnett: Transit Plan. For more information, visit the Gwinnett County Microtransit page here .

Commissioners adopt Connect Gwinnett comprehensive transit plan

After getting the community's feedback on the County's transit needs over the past year, the Board of Commissioners adopted the Connect Gwinnett: Transit Plan (also known as the Comprehensive Transit Development Plan), a blueprint for transit expansion in Gwinnett County for the next 30 years. The plan serves as a blueprint for transit expansion in Gwinnett County. As the Connect Gwinnett team engaged with the community, they presented different types of transit to determine what would work best for residents. These modes included heavy rail transit, bus rapid transit, flex service, and more. Both fall and spring public meetings and 5,780 survey responses established that congestion relief, coverage and connectivity, and travel time reduction were most important to the community. The plan addresses short-, mid-, and long-term transit needs, including bus rapid transit heavy rail, and expanded bus service. Visit the Connect Gwinnett: Transit Plan website here .

Commissioners approve contract with MARTA; place agreement on ballot in 2019

The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners recently approved a contract with the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) to further develop the Gwinnett County Transit system. Gwinnett County voters will have the opportunity to approve the contract in a March 19, 2019 special election. Under the contract, Gwinnett County and MARTA will plan and implement projects together based on the Comprehensive Transit Development Plan (Connect Gwinnett: Transit Plan). Both Gwinnett County and MARTA will determine how revenues are spent for transit service and projects while MARTA will operate the service. For more information, click here .
