Have you heard about Gwinnett’s Transit Plan? The County launched an educational hub for residents to get informed about the plan and have their transit questions answered. 

The hub explores different transit modes, benefits for the community, and information about a potential transit referendum. It also features a monthly video series that highlights different components of the plan. 

Gwinnett’s Transit Plan aims to provide 100 percent transit coverage through the expansion of the County’s existing microtransit service. Proposed services also include an airport ride to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, high-capacity systems, and additional transit transfer facilities.

In January, the Board of Commissioners approved a notice of intent to call for a transit referendum. As outlined in Georgia law, this action is required before the Board can officially call for a transit referendum that, if approved by voters, could fund the proposed transit projects through a one-percent sales tax not to exceed 30 years. 

The one percent sales tax, if authorized in accordance with Georgia law, would be paid by all consumers who purchase goods within the county, shifting the burden away from Gwinnett’s property owners to all residents, businesses, and visitors.
