Georgia Mobility and Access Planner (G‑MAP) Mobile App Now Live, Expanding Safe, Reliable, Multimodal Travel for All
Transforming walking or transit travel with a real-time, personalized navigation app
(Atlanta, Georgia – 04/06/2026) Today is the official launch of the Georgia Mobility and Access Planner (G‑MAP) mobile application, a groundbreaking tool designed to help travelers plan and navigate safe, accessible, and reliable trips. Designed to remove barriers across the “complete trip,” G‑MAP supports travelers with disabilities (including mobility, vision, and hearing), older adults, and individuals with limited English proficiency. It is now live and free for use in Gwinnett County, along Ride Gwinnett fixed transit routes.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s ITS4US Deployment Program awarded Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) with the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), Gwinnett County, and the Statewide Independent Living Council of Georgia (SILCGA), $11.4 million to develop and deploy G‑MAP in Gwinnett County. The program advances innovative, multimodal mobility solutions that improve access for all travelers.
While currently deployed in Gwinnett County, G‑MAP has the potential for broader regional expansion. The platform is also open‑source, enabling transportation agencies, developers, or community partners nationwide or internationally to adapt and scale the technology.
