Get the facts: Gwinnett’s transit plan, contract, and the March 19 referendum
Gwinnett County residents will go to the polls March 19 to vote on a contract for the provision of expanded transit services. If the referendum passes, Gwinnett’s transit system and services will expand based on Gwinnett’s plan and its contract with MARTA. The expansion will be funded through a one-cent sales tax for transit.
The contract provides control to Gwinnett over funds, expenditures, projects, and services. It requires Gwinnett funds to be spent for the benefit of Gwinnett. It sets Gwinnett’s transit plan, Connect Gwinnett, as the source of transit projects. It also provides Gwinnett with three seats on the MARTA board.
In preparation for the March 19 transit contract referendum, the County has participated in more than 50 education sessions and presentations. The final open house education session will be held on:
Saturday, March 16 – 10:00am to 12:00pm
Berean Christian Church
1465 Highpoint Road, Snellville
