Welcome to the Public Transportation Division and Greensboro Transit Authority. Our mission is to serve Greensboro residents and visitors with efficient public transportation services. Feel free to explore our site to learn more about our services and of course, we appreciate your feedback on how to improve services.

Important Notice of Route / Service Change
Beginning Monday, September 6, Greensboro Transit Authority will make important changes to Route 1 Wendover Avenue and Route 1A West Wendover Avenue Connector. As a result of the closing of the Evergreens/Lifespan transfer point, passengers will now transfer between routes at Boren Drive and Norwalk Street. This will also cause some slight deviations on these routes. In addition, the weekday frequency of Route 1A will change to hourly with buses departing the transfer point at the bottom of every hour. Updated route schedules are available on our Routes and Fares page. GTA requests that users of Routes 1 and 1A plan their trips accordingly for these changes.

September Rider Advisory Panel Meeting Change
Due to the upcoming Labor Day holiday, the September Rider Advisory Panel meeting will be combined with the Service Evaluation Committee meeting on Monday, September 13, at 5:30 pm at the GTA offices.

Batteries running low? Have a charge on us! As a benefit to our riders, GTA has installed a new charging station in the GTA waiting area of the J. Douglas Galyon Depot. The kiosk will allow up to eight devices to charge at a time while riders are waiting for the bus. Use it for laptops, e-readers, iPods, cell phones or any of your portable electronic devices. Don't forget...free Wi-Fi is available at the Depot as well. GTA keeps you connected during your commute!

Headed towards Four Seasons Town Centre or Wendover Avenue?
If so, you have two new express options available for you. The new HEAT Route 76 connects NCA&T, Bennett College and the Depot with express service to Four Seasons Town Centre and The Shoppes at Pyramids Village. Route 78 is also available, connecting Guilford College and UNCG with Four Seasons and the Wendover Avenue Area Shopping District. Of course, you can ride these routes for the same fares as GTA. Check the HEAT website for more details.

You Heckled the Pump, and then some!
Thank you for the more than 50 entries received for GTA's Heckle the Pump contest. The winning joke was submitted by Mark Scott: "I saved money to take my wife to an expensive island for our anniversary. She said the self-service island wasn't what she had in mind."

Mark wins a fuel-free weekend courtesy of GTA, PART and the NC Zoological Park. To read other submissions, visit the winner page.

Construction has started on our new home!
Construction has started on the new GTA Operations and Maintenance Facility and Administrative Offices. The 64,000-square-foot, three-level building is expected to be completed by July 2011. Follow the construction on our flickr site.

Need A Transportation Solution? Try Van / Carpool
Although GTA is your way to move, we know that there are some locations riders need to reach outside of our growing service area. Join a vanpool or carpool today and share a ride with people who have a similar schedule and commute. The Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation is offering 50 percent off the first month’s fee for new vanpools! For more information about ridesharing, visit this page.

WiFi Hot Spot Comes to the Depot
Patrons of the J. Douglas Galyon Depot's GTA waiting areas now have access to free WiFi service. Persons with laptops, iPods or other devices can connect at either of the GTA waiting rooms, as well as the outside patio area. To surf the Web for GTA and HEAT information or any other Internet resources, open your browser and agree to the terms of service.
