New Name, New Look and More Mobility Options

Formerly known as Gwinnett County Transit, Gwinnett’s transit system has a new name and look inspired by the County’s vibrant brand — Ride Gwinnett. After more than 20 years of service in our county, the transit system’s new look reflects Gwinnett’s evolving focus on mobility.

Gwinnett County continues its efforts to expand its transit services and will soon provide additional mobility options for riders and visitors. This will relieve congestion, increase employment and enhance economic opportunities.

The new planned transit service will include three new local bus routes serving areas in Snellville, Stone Mountain, Buford and Suwanee. The service will also provide extended transit coverage in Lawrenceville, Lilburn and Duluth. With expanded service, more than 50% of Gwinnett residents will have access to transportation options. Ride Gwinnett’s new services will be launched in phases throughout 2023.

What’s New at Gwinnett Place Mall

The Board of Commissioners recently adopted the Gwinnett Place Mall Site Revitalization Strategy. In the combined effort between Gwinnett County, the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District, the redevelopment action plan is set to transform the mall site into the Global Villages — a new, vibrant community comprising seven different villages, oriented around a central park.

Board Chairwoman, Nicole Hendrickson, said the Global Villages concept ensures an inclusive and equitable redevelopment for current residents and businesses. The Gwinnett Place Mall Site Revitalization Strategy includes an action plan for the redevelopment, which is expected to take place over the next 20 years.
