Why Gwinnett Isn’t Built for People Without Cars (And How Micro-Mobility Fills the Gap)
Gwinnett is convenient—if you have a car. But for students, seniors, essential workers, and adults who can’t drive, the county’s layout creates barriers that micro-mobility is now filling.

Gwinnett is growing fast. But its roads and sidewalks weren’t designed for anyone outside a vehicle.
- Students who can’t drive yet.
- Seniors who no longer feel safe behind the wheel.
- Workers without access to a second car.
- Adults with barriers preventing them from driving.
“Micro-mobility isn’t optional in Gwinnett. It fills the gap between where the bus stops and where real life happens.”
Gwinnett Looks Familiar for a Reason
Gwinnett operates like many American suburbs: fast roads, limited sidewalks, long distances between essentials.
Car-Centric Design
- 4–6 lane high-speed arterials.
- Sidewalks that disappear unexpectedly.
- Long walking distances between essentials.
- No protected micro-mobility lanes.
Transit Gaps
- Bus routes that miss key areas.
- Long wait times.
- Unsafe walking routes to bus stops.
- No last-mile infrastructure.
Who Feels This the Most?
Students & Young Adults
Micro-mobility = access to school, jobs, and opportunity.
Seniors
Electric mobility restores independence and reduces isolation.
Workers & One-Car Families
E-bikes and scooters keep households functioning and workers employed.
Adults Who Can’t Drive
Mobility becomes survival—and micro-mobility becomes the only option.
Micro-Mobility Is the Workaround. Service Is the Missing Piece.
Most e-bikes and scooters are bought online from companies with no real U.S. service presence. One breakdown can remove someone’s only way to move.
