Gwinnett Transit SPLOST: Transforming Public Transit in Gwinnett County

If approved by voters, the Gwinnett Transit SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) could lead to funding up to 75 transit projects, enhancing connectivity across the county. These projects will make it easier for residents to access jobs, education, and services while improving the overall public transportation experience.

Key Projects Under the Transit SPLOST
