Do you need a car to attend community college in Georgia?

In Georgia, 28% of community and technical colleges have a public transit stop within walking distance.

An additional 14% — or 20 campuses — are less than five miles from an existing transit line, but not yet connected.

Civic Mapping Initiative assessed the 140 campuses belonging to Georgia’s community and technical colleges to determine their proximity to public transit stops. Read more about our project and methodology.

Accessibility requires not only transit stops, but also schedules and routes that meet the needs of today’s college students. This map does not include frequency or route information.

Transit Stop Proximity to Community & Technical College Campuses in Georgia

Why is transit accessibility critical
for community college students?

Working students,

parenting students, and

students from low-income households are

overrepresented at community and technical colleges.

These students must manage “time poverty,” as they juggle family, work, and school commitments.

Statistics reflect national data from NCES and the College Board. Specific estimates for this state are not available.

Our Community & Technical College Transit Map displays all applicable campus locations in Georgia.

We can invest in student success by improving transportation infrastructure.
