Roswell Trolley Pilot Program Starts May 12

ROSWELL, GA -- Visitors to Roswell's Historic District will soon have an easier way to navigate the area on Friday and Saturday evenings.

That's because the city is rolling out its free Trolley Pilot Program, which will run from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. May 12 through Aug. 5.

The Roswell City Council recently approved the pilot project to move people through the Historic District during the busiest times of the week: Friday and Saturday nights, when parking is hard to come by. This will allow people to park at Roswell City Hall and catch the trolley to Canton Street and the Historic Town Square.

The trolley pilot program has 10 stops, starting at City Hall at 38 Hill Street, then traveling south toward the Historic Town Square and Bulloch Hall, before traveling north on Magnolia Street, Mimosa Boulevard, and Canton Street, and traveling down several key side streets, before returning to City Hall.

The city will be gathering ridership data and user feedback throughout the course of the pilot program to gauge its effectiveness and to determine any improvements for the future.
