Weigh in on Gwinnett’s transit plan from the comfort of your own home

County leaders said it will all probably come down to money.

As its transit planning process begins to come to a close, Gwinnett County has launched a new online survey for residents to weigh in.

The 10-minute survey went live Monday and should remain open until the end of May or so, Gwinnett Department of Transportation director Alan Chapman said. It can be found by clicking here.

As it currently stands, Gwinnett's transit plan calls for the construction of a roughly four-mile stretch of heavy rail to connect the existing Doraville MARTA station to a new "multimodal hub" proposed somewhere near Jimmy Carter Boulevard and I-85 in Norcross.

The plan, which will be voted upon by by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, also proposes bus rapid transit (which operates in dedicated lanes), extended local and Express bus service and several other options.

A closer look at the overall transit plan can be found here.

Gwinnett’s launch of a new online survey comes as a final round of public meetings on the transit plan comes to a close.

The final two formal meetings are as follows:

  • Tuesday (tonight): 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Snellville City Hall, 2342 Oak Road SW, Snellville
  • Wednesday: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville
