Gwinnett County received the 2023 Georgia Transit Association Innovation Award for its Transit Development Plan. The award recognizes exceptional innovation in customer or community service and technology.

The Transit Development Plan was fueled by community engagement, reaching residents, businesses, and community stakeholders who shared their feedback over 18 months.

After encountering challenges with several transit referendum attempts spanning five decades, this new plan embraces a fresh, innovative approach that provides the right services in the right places.

Supported by comprehensive data, the plan also addresses gaps by providing additional transit options like microtransit, airport ride, bus rapid transit, and increased transfer facilities.

In anticipation of the county’s population and economic growth, the Transit Development Plan sets the foundation for Ride Gwinnett, expanding and enhancing the way residents travel throughout and beyond the county.
