Athens-Clarke County is considering updates to its streets and bus routes, and local residents have the opportunity to share their input. The Athens-Clarke County Transit, which has made significant changes in recent years, is in the process of revising its 2023–2028 Transit Development Plan (TDP) and is seeking feedback from the community. This effort goes beyond bus schedules and route adjustments.
A TDP is essentially a roadmap for transit agencies, pinpointing how they'll align with state and local transportation priorities via operational adjustments, capital improvements, and smart investments. As per the Athens-Clarke County Government website, the current update process will reassess the system’s vision, mission statement, and goals.
Getting involved is simple—head to the TDP webpage to learn about the proposed changes and share feedback. Whether a regular bus rider, occasional user, or someone who mostly drives, input can help shape the future of Athens Transit. The draft of the TDP is also available for review.
