Transit Planning
The City of Brunswick has developed a Transit Service Plan to guide the implementation of a local transit system. This initiative builds on several prior studies and has advanced that work to complete a detailed analysis of transit service options, and ownership and funding options.
Public transportation services are needed within the Brunswick / Glynn County Urbanized area. Transit services would connect employers with workers, support improved access to jobs, increase mobility for growing number of seniors and persons with disabilities and improve access to educational opportunities. Transit is needed to important destinations in both the City and County.
Based on both the technical analyses, public input, guidance by City leadership and fiscal realities, the recommended transit concept for implementation includes:
- Micro-transit zone encompassing all of the City of Brunswick and portions of Glynn County
- Flex route to St. Simons Island.
The micro-transit will be on-call through either a smart phone app or telephone reservation. Advanced reservations will not be required. The service will operate Monday through Saturday. The Flex Route will connect Brunswick with St. Simons Island – providing a much-needed employment connection.
An RFP for service providers is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2024, with service to begin later in the year.
