The Gateway85-Norcross Microtransit Pilot Program, developed in partnership with Gwinnett County and the City of Norcross, introduces a convenient, on-demand microtransit service for our community. For just $3 per ride, you can easily travel anywhere within the designated service area. The service will run from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Program Benefits
- Cost-Effective Transportation: At just $3 per ride, this microtransit service offers an affordable alternative to pricier transportation methods like rideshares or private taxis.
- Flexible & On-Demand: The service is tailored to accommodate varied schedules, offering flexibility beyond traditional public transit options. Whether it’s for early shifts, late nights or unexpected schedule changes. If you are an area employer, your workforce can now get where they need to go with ease. If you’re a resident or visitor, it’s a simple and convenient way to run errands, shop or dine.
Supporting Economic and Community Growth: The Gateway85 and Norcross areas are diverse and economically vibrant but have often been underserved by transit options. By improving mobility across our community, this program helps create a stronger environment for businesses, residents and visitors alike.
