STORY 1:    Gwinnett County Launches Microtransit Pilot In Norcross

The Ride Gwinnett microtransit pilot program launched in Norcross on August 26, offering on-demand, shared-ride service to enhance mobility in the area. This initiative, a collaboration between Gwinnett County, Gateway85 Community Improvement District, and the city of Norcross, follows similar services in Snellville and Lawrenceville. The program operates Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., with rides costing $3. It aims to improve transportation access for residents and businesses, particularly for the 14,000 people in the Gateway85 CID without cars. The pilot will run for one year and is funded by Gwinnett County, Gateway85 CID, and Norcross. For more details, visit RideGwinnett.com.
