The Department of Transportation will apply for a competitive bus and bus facilities grant through the Federal Transit Administration. The $8 million grant would go toward expanding and enhancing the Gwinnett Place Transit Center into a thriving hub envisioned to provide multiple modes of service and connections along with customer service amenities like onsite ticket sales and restrooms and features like public gathering spaces. The project requires a local match of $2 million to be funded by the Atlanta-region Transit Link Authority’s rideshare revenue. The total estimated cost of the entire project is $20 million.
