About the Link Forsyth Plan
Completed in the summer of 2021, Link Forsyth is Forsyth County's first-ever public transportation master plan. The plan was led by the County's Public Transportation Department and built upon the two existing services:
- Access Forsyth services that provide ride-share services by appointment to Forsyth County residents
- Senior Services that provide transportation services to Forsyth County seniors and active adults
The plan guides the vision for and implementation of future public transportation investments in Forsyth County. It assessed the state of the county's transportation services and leveraged public input and technical data to formalize recommendations that built on existing services while addressing the shared vision for public transportation services within the County.
The plan was funded in partnership with the ATL (Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority), the transit planning authority for the 13-county Atlanta metro region. Link Forsyth's recommendations are anticipated to be incorporated into the Atlanta Regional Transit Plan (ARTP), which is managed by the ATL under the State of Georgia's regulations.
Steps Taken to Accomplish the Plan
