Gwinnett County's $17B Transit Plan Receives Approval and Sparks Hope
Gwinnett County in Georgia has approved a $17 billion transit expansion plan that focuses on buses and microtransit instead of MARTA expansion. The plan includes expanding microtransit, extending and reconfiguring bus routes, creating express bus routes, allowing transit services on Sundays, and adding transfer facilities. The plan will now be reviewed by the Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority (ATL). If approved, the plan could be funded by a new penny sales tax and implemented by 2033.
