The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority is rolling out a new website that will be a one-stop-shop for information about upcoming changes to its Xpress commuter coach bus service.

Upgradeyourcommute.com has a page dedicated to each route to explain the proposed changes and benefits. As more details become available, such as new schedules, maps, and stop locations, they will be posted.

Current riders and people considering becoming Xpress bus commuters are encouraged to log on to learn more about how the system might work for them.

Last month, the GRTA Board of Directors voted to adopt a new plan to transform service over the next decade and beyond. The first changes will take effect in Spring 2016. They include the adoption of three new cross-suburb routes to serve the Perimeter Center area.
