Gwinnett Commissioners approve transit referendum
|
|
|
|
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners took a significant step toward improving mobility for residents. The board approved a transit referendum to be placed on the November 5 General Election ballot. If approved by voters, the transit referendum would impose a one percent sales tax for 30 years to fund up to 75 transit projects in Gwinnett.
A Transit SPLOST aims to distribute financial responsibility more equitably among all residents, businesses, and visitors, alleviating the burden on Gwinnett’s property owners. The transit plan includes an airport ride to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, enhanced and expanded county coverage by local bus, additional transit transfer facilities, and the expansion of microtransit providing 100 percent countywide coverage. The new transit referendum does not include heavy rail or MARTA. To learn more, visit GwinnettCounty.com/YourRide.

With the growing use of privacy gates at the entrances to businesses, subdivisions, and private residences, it is imperative that first responders have a way to access gates in the event of an emergency. The Gwinnett County 911 Center maintains a list of gate codes and other emergency contact information that can be used by the police department, fire department, and emergency medical service units as they respond to calls for service. Now, the County is making it easy for you to upload your gate codes.
