 In buc shuttle, Mobility

As we wrap up another year, it’s time to celebrate the continued success and evolution of The Buc, Buckhead’s premier on-demand shuttle service. This year has been an extraordinary one, marked by new milestones, exciting partnerships, and unwavering community support.

The Buc has seen remarkable growth in ridership this year, reflecting Buckhead’s growing embrace of sustainable and accessible transportation options. More than 41,000 completed rides were taken in 2024—equaling the total rides from the previous 16 months of service combined. With thousands of residents, employees, and visitors choosing The Buc to navigate the district, the service has proven to be a reliable, eco-friendly solution for getting around Buckhead efficiently.

In 2024, The Buc made significant strides in reducing the environmental footprint of Buckhead’s transportation network. By providing an alternative to single-occupancy vehicle trips, the shuttle has contributed to fewer cars on the road, reduced traffic congestion, and lower carbon emissions. These efforts align with Livable Buckhead’s commitment to sustainability and a greener future. The Buc plays a critical role in alleviating traffic congestion, especially as more workers return to the office, helping to ease commutes and reduce travel times throughout the district.

Beyond mobility, The Buc is also contributing to Buckhead’s economic vitality. By providing reliable transit connections, it supports local businesses, encourages spending at retail and dining destinations, and makes Buckhead more attractive to commercial office tenants. With more than 3,400 new accounts created in 2024, the service is an appealing amenity for companies looking to offer employees easy and sustainable commuting options. The Buc’s ability to reduce parking demand and enhance accessibility strengthens Buckhead’s reputation as a desirable location for businesses seeking to attract top talent.

None of this would be possible without the support of our partners. This year, The Buc collaborated with local businesses, property owners, and community organizations to expand accessibility and awareness of the service. Through initiatives like Free Rides to the Polls, Santa on the Shuttle, and the Holiday Treat, Free Buc Seat Promotion, The Buc has engaged riders in meaningful ways. Additionally, partnerships with Buckhead Blooms, Citizens Market, and Atlanta Marriott Buckhead have helped broaden the service’s reach and impact.

As we look to the future, The Buc remains committed to providing exceptional service while contributing to Buckhead’s growth and sustainability goals. Whether you’re commuting to work, heading to lunch, or running errands, The Buc is here to help you move through Buckhead with ease. Plans are already underway to explore weekend service expansions, greater connectivity to residential neighborhoods, and further investment in clean energy technology to enhance service reliability and efficiency.

Thank you for riding with us and being part of The Buc’s journey. We’re excited to keep driving innovation, economic development, and community impact in the year ahead. Together, we’re making Buckhead more connected, sustainable, and accessible.
