Gwinnett County Transit Review Committee

What is the Transit Review Committee?

With Gwinnett County expected to continue rapid growth through 2040 and beyond, the need for a robust transit system will only become more critical. The Board of Commissioners passed a resolution on September 3, 2019 creating the Gwinnett County Transit Review Committee, a group of 13 citizens who helped advise the Board on how to proceed in expanding transit in Gwinnett County to meet future demand. The committee was tasked with conducting a thoughtful and thorough review of Gwinnett’s transit needs and the options for addressing those needs. The committee presented a written report with recommendations to the Board of Commissioners on January 31, 2020.

The committee was formed following a transit contract referendum in March 2019 in which voters did not approve a contract with MARTA to operate Gwinnett’s transit system and a 38-year, one-percent sales tax to implement the Connect Gwinnett: Transit Plan. The Connect Gwinnett: Transit Plan detailed significant, short- and long-term expansion of transit in Gwinnett, including using various types of transit, adding more routes, and identifying funding sources.

As part of their review, the Transit Review Committee members took a fresh look at the Connect Gwinnett: Transit Plan. The committee analyzed current and projected transit needs based on projected population and employment and the feasibility of various types of transit. The committee also considered options suggested by the public during the referendum process.

The final report included information that presents the scope of the committee’s work and the basis of its recommendations, such as infrastructure needs, feasibility of proposed approaches, quality of life, and potential economic benefits and impacts.

The Transit Review Committee will held 11 meetings, which were open to the public.
