What is The Great Exchange on Transportation?

The Great Exchange (#thegr8exchange) is a grassroots effort in Gwinnett bringing people together to discuss one of the most pressing issues facing our community today: transportation. A lot of people have been talking about what Gwinnett needs to do when it comes to transportation. The week of August 24th, we’ll have a chance to let Gwinnett speak for itself.

Why do we need a conversation on transportation?The way we move and reach the places we live, work and love shapes our everyday lives. The Great Exchange is about beginning fresh, new conversations to create a common vision for how we want to connect the people and places that matter to us most.

When and where is it happening? During the week of August 24th, conversations about transportation will occur everyday all over Gwinnett County — in coffee shops, in restaurants, in homes and in communities. We’ll collect thoughts and ideas through a simple eight-question text survey.

Why do we need you on our Leadership Team?We believe community conversations and fresh ideas hold the key to our future. We need your help to make sure we include your community’s voice and ideas as we develop a shared vision for the future.
