Gwinnett County Transit rebrands to Ride Gwinnett

By Austin Eller News Director

Gwinnett County has rebranded its long-running Gwinnett County Transit service to Ride Gwinnett.

In a press release, Gwinnett County said the new name and new brand were unveiled on Thursday. Gwinnett County Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson said Ride Gwinnett represents how the County will connect people to where they need to go.

“Ride Gwinnett was established with the goal of making our public transit system an attractive and everyday choice for residents and visitors,” Hendrickson said. “This is an exciting day and the excitement will continue in the coming months with the expansion of new routes included in the recently approved 2023 budget.”

Gwinnett County Department of Transportation Director Lewis Cooksey and the crowd counted down and chanted, "Move that bus!" to reveal Ride Gwinnett's new branding during the unveiling.

"It has been over twenty years since Gwinnett’s transit system began, so a new brand and name that reflects how our focus on mobility has evolved is fitting,” Cooksey said. “To go along with our new look, we will also have new changes to service soon, so it is an exciting time for transit in Gwinnett.”

The rebranding impacts the County's transit website, buses, bus stop shelters and signs. 

Ride Gwinnett has seven local routes, five commuter routes, complimentary paratransit for local routes, three Park and Ride locations and one transit center. For more information about Ride Gwinnett, click this link.
