FOCUS: The Road Forward: Gwinnett’s transit plan
By Lewis Cooksey | With over a million residents in Gwinnett, we at the Gwinnett Department of Transportation (DOT) are focused on ensuring that we are providing connectivity and access to move around the county’s 437 square miles. With more cars on the road, it’s clear we need a better way to get around.

“….if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
