[NFB_of_Georgia] Ride Gwinnett to hold workshops on this month’s transit expansion

[joann369 at bellsouth.net]

Ride Gwinnett, the public transit service in Gwinnett County, is holding two workshops in the coming week for residents who want to learn more about a transit expansion that will be implemented Aug. 28.

The expansion includes new microtransit zones in Snellville and Lawrenceville and two new local bus routes, numbered 25 and 70.

Microtransit is an on-demand shared ride service, according to  <https://www.gwinnettcounty.com/web/gwinnett/Home> the county website. Riders can request a small van or shuttle on the Ride Gwinnett mobile app to travel within the designated zones.

 

The new Route 25 will leave from the transit center at Gwinnett Place Mall and travel to Lilburn City Hall and the Amazon distribution warehouse near Stone Mountain. Route 70 will run from downtown Snellville to the Indian Creek Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) station.

Ride Gwinnett will also hold a virtual meeting Wednesday at 6 p.m. A link  <https://www.gwinnettcounty.com/web/gwinnett/home/stories/viewstory/-/story/microtransitlaunch> can be accessed here.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
