Attention local business employers, community developers, real estate developers, and leaders in economic development: Save the Date for Gwinnett County Transit's Executive Ride on Friday, September 24 from 10:00am to 1:00pm!

GCT is teaming up with the Office of Economic Development and Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce for this event to discuss our current state of public transit and future plans for transit growth in the County. Plus, we’ll talk about how public transit can be used as an incentive for those that use it (i.e. Georgia Commute Options will be in attendance, with GCO discussing their reward programs for commuters using alternative transportation and how companies can start their own incentive programs).

Other main highlights that will be discussed are how public transit can relieve the stress of driving alone, decrease wear and tear on drivers’ vehicles, save money on gas, and help our essential workers get to their jobs — just a few of the many ways public transit stimulates the economy.

To RSVP for the executive event, please email Destiny.O'Loughlin@GwinnettCounty.com.

While the mandate signed by Gwinnett County Chairwoman Nicole L. Hendrickson states that masks are no longer required in County facilities, GCT passengers are required to wear a face mask on all buses through January 18, 2022. This is in accordance with TSA and CDC guidance for travelers using public transit.

If you have any questions about this requirement, call GCT Customer Service at 770.822.5010.

In observance of Labor Day, Gwinnett County Transit will not be running local, commuter, or paratransit service on Monday, September 6.

The regional, contactless program enables riders to pay their bus fare in all of metro Atlanta.
