        Georgia Tech Places First in Atlanta Bicycle Challenge

        Georgia Tech Places First in Atlanta Bicycle Challenge

        For the fifth year in a row, Georgia Tech employees came out on top in the Atlanta Bicycle “Biketober” Challenge, cycling 22,132 miles during October and finishing first among workplaces with more than 2,000 employees.

        Dec 04, 2025

        For the fifth year in a row, Georgia Tech employees came out on top in the Atlanta Bicycle “Biketober” Challenge, cycling 22,132 miles during October and finishing first among workplaces with more than 2,000 employees.  

        The top team was again GTRI’s Thighs, a group of 10 riders from the Georgia Tech Research Institute that collectively biked more than 6,000 miles during the challenge. Francisco Valdes, a senior research engineer at GTRI, was the top rider for the second year in a row, logging 1,812 miles. 

        Alexa Harter, director of GTRI’s Cybersecurity, Information Protection, and Hardware Evaluation Research Laboratory, was the team’s top encourager and ranked third on her team for distance. 

        “The contest ranks how many people you’ve encouraged to participate,” she said. “I love Biketober, so I’m eager to tell people how great it is. Through sharing how much I enjoy it, a lot of other people decided to sign up.”  

        The Biketober challenge takes place each October as a way to encourage cycling in the area. This year, 2,643 riders participated and biked 326,934 miles. Their trips for commuting, transportation, fun, and fitness equated to keeping nearly 46,201 pounds of carbon dioxide that would have been emitted via other transportation methods out of the atmosphere. “There are just so many wonderful aspects of biking — the positive environmental impact, building exercise into your day, and getting to see and participate in the city instead of being stuck in a car,” Harter said.  

        She says the Atlanta area is a great starting point for beginner cyclists looking to build confidence.  

        “The current bike infrastructure makes it easier to get up to speed slowly. There are places like the Beltline Westside Trail that don’t have a lot of people, allowing you to get more comfortable on a bike. Once you get the hang of it, there is no shortage of places to ride,” she said. 

        Looking ahead, Harter says GTRI will participate in Biketober again next fall, as will many other Georgia Tech teams. 

        “You can expect GTRI’s Thighs to be back in 2026. Biketober is something we all look forward to — what better excuse to ride a bike all month?”

          Stinger Route Update – Oct. 6, 2025

          Updated Stinger Routes Start on Oct. 6

          In response to campuswide feedback, Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) will update Stinger Shuttle routes to enhance transit service for the Georgia Tech community. 

          Sept. 29, 2025

          Beginning Monday, Oct. 6, Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) will introduce modifications to the Stinger Shuttle routes. These changes are the result of thoughtful review and engagement with community groups and campus leadership, aimed at improving transit accessibility and efficiency. 

           Key Changes to the Stinger Routes

          • Reinstate the former Gold Route with four buses. Buses will start at the turnaround parallel to the Weber Space Science and Technology Building and make stops along Ferst Dr. and Fifth Street, ending at the Midtown MARTA Station. It will depart the MARTA Station and return to campus via Spring Street, stopping at Publix, Fifth Street, and along Ferst Drive back to the Weber Building turnaround.   
          • Return the name of the current “new Gold Route” to the “Clough Route” with three buses. Buses will start at the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons turnaround and make stops along Fowler Street and Fifth Street, ending at the Midtown MARTA Station. It will depart the MARTA Station and return to campus via Spring Street, stopping at Publix, Fifth Street, and Fowler Street, back to the Clough Commons turnaround.
          • The Circulator Route will be discontinued; buses will be reallocated to the Gold and Clough Routes.
          • Evening weekday (Monday through Friday) service adjustment: Operating two buses, the Gold Route will detour to service the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons. One bus will operate from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., and another bus from 2 to 3:15 a.m.
          • Weekend service adjustment: The Gold and Clough Routes will be combined and operate as one route.  
          • Relocate the Blue Route westbound stop from the Weber turnaround to the shelter on Ferst Drive, adjacent to the Weber Building, to help riders better distinguish buses traveling to the North Avenue Apartments from those heading to West Village. 

          With these changes, a total of seven buses will now service the Midtown MARTA Station and Tech Square, providing a direct connection between the following key locations on campus: 

          • Midtown MARTA Station. 
          • Tech Square. 
          • Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons. 
          • The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design. 
          • Campus Recreation Center. 
          • John Lewis Student Center.  

          These modifications are designed to streamline travel across key campus destinations and improve the overall transit experience for students, faculty, and staff.

          New Stinger and Stingerette Routes 2025

          New Stinger and Stingerette Shuttle Routes Starting Aug. 11

          Beginning Aug. 11, updates to Stinger and Stingerette routes will be implemented to improve service levels and expand service options.  

          Image of W23: North Deck

          Aug. 6, 2025

          In recent years, Georgia Tech’s campus has experienced significant growth, with the expansion of Technology Square, Science Square, and new student housing. Alongside these developments, major infrastructure projects such as the Ferst Drive realignment and cycle track will have a significant effect on campus transit demand and rider preferences. To accommodate the evolving campus environment, Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) is implementing a series of route modifications and network improvements aimed at enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and the overall rider experience.  

           

          The following route changes will take effect on Monday, Aug. 11. 

          Updates to Weekday Routes

            • Gold: The Gold Route will now start and end at the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons turnaround and will service the area between Midtown and the central campus. 

            • Red: The Red Route has been redesigned for bidirectional service connecting the North Avenue Apartments to West Village. The Red Route will now service Techwood Drive and the northern portion of Ferst Drive.  

            • Blue: The Blue Route has been redesigned for bidirectional service connecting the North Avenue Apartments to West Village via the southern portion of campus. It will service Cherry Street and Ferst Drive, connecting to the Weber Space Science and Technology Building turnaround and the John Lewis Student Center. 

            • Green: The Green Route will be condensed to improve frequency while maintaining inter-route connectivity. The loop includes stops at the Student Competition Center, 14th at State Street, and the GTRI Conference Center. 

            •  Emory: No change; Emory route remains the same. 

            • NARA/Science Center: This route services the North Avenue Research Area (NARA) and Science Square building locations.  

            • Clough/Tech Square: This route has been discontinued. Portions of this route are now incorporated into the Gold Route.

            New Weekday Routes 

            • Northside Drive/Atlantic Station: The Northside Drive to Atlantic Station route will enhance access for students living near campus and provide students with access to shopping and entertainment at Atlantic Station.   
            • Circulator: A core campus circulator route will operate counterclockwise from the Weber Space Science and Technology Building turnaround to the John Lewis Student Center.  

            New Stinger routes can be viewed on our Stinger Shuttle Website and in the TransLoc app. 

            Weekend Service Enhancements

            The weekend network introduces two dedicated routes, which will overlap on State Street to enable transfers. This redesign increases shopping access and transit connectivity. 

            • Atlantic Station Route: Services West Campus to Atlantic Station. 
            • Midtown/Publix/MARTA Route: Services the North Avenue Apartments and East Campus to Midtown. 

             

            New Stinger routes can be viewed on our Stinger Shuttle website and in the TransLoc app. 

            Expanded Late-Night Transportation Service

            Currently, late-night campus transit relies on the Midnight Rambler and on-demand Stingerette service — two offerings that often overlap. To improve coverage and efficiency, Georgia Tech is expanding late-night service across several Stinger routes. 

             

            • The Gold, Red, and Blue Routes will now operate until 3:15 a.m., replacing the Midnight Rambler. 
            • The Circulator Route will run until midnight. 
            Stingerette Nighttime Safety Service (On-Demand)

            The Stingerette will shift to designated pickup locations and focus on areas not served by Stinger routes. It will no longer provide service between on-campus locations. Instead, it will support late-night travel between campus and nearby off-campus residential areas — improving efficiency, reducing wait times, and simplifying operations. 

            New campus pickup locations can be viewed on our Stingerette website and in the TransLoc app.

            The Beginning Stages

            Over the past year, Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) developed a Transit Master Plan using a combination of service and market data, field assessments, and engagement with students, faculty, and staff. Through a collaborative, iterative process, PTS reviewed route concepts, analyzed travel behavior, and refined route recommendations to reflect community feedback and operational feasibility. 

            Key Findings

            Through market and service assessments, PTS discovered areas of improvement for area coverage, route design, service redundancy, and performance. The Transit Master Plan proposes a series of route modifications and network improvements aimed at enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and overall rider experience.

            In recent years, Georgia Tech’s campus has experienced significant growth, with the expansion of Technology Square, Science Square and new private residential developments supporting student housing needs. Alongside these developments, major infrastructure projects such as the Ferst Drive realignment and Cycle Track will have a significant effect on campus transit demand and rider preferences.

            Parking 101 for Fall Semester

            To help the campus community navigate the road ahead, Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) has compiled the following Q&A to address many of your pressing questions.

            Image of W23: North Deck

            Aug. 1, 2025

            As more employees and students prepare to return to campus, Georgia Tech recognizes that parking and transportation are top of mind. To help the campus community navigate the road ahead, Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) has compiled the following Q&A to address many of your pressing questions. The team understands that the start of the fall semester may present challenges for some, and they are committed to taking extra measures to make transitions back to campus as smooth as possible.  

             

            Will there be sufficient parking on campus? 

            Yes, based on current permit sales and historical trends, PTS anticipates that overall campus parking will meet demand this fall. However, some high-demand lots may fill during peak times. In these instances, PTS will redirect permit holders to available alternative locations. PTS recognizes that this may cause inconveniences and appreciates your patience and flexibility as the team works to balance availability and demand. 

             

            How will PTS manage parking overflow? 

            PTS ambassadors and staff will be stationed at key locations in early August to help manage flow, provide information, and redirect as needed. The Georgia Tech Police Department will also be present to assist with traffic flow and congestion and promote safe travel across campus. 

             

            If I have to park in an overflow parking lot, will there be a shuttle to help me get to my workplace? 

            Yes, the Stinger Shuttle will be servicing the campus. Using campus transit to get from your parking lot to your workplace may require a transfer between buses. Click here to view shuttle routes.  

             

            I purchased a 2025-26 parking permit and want to change my parking permit to another location. How does the waitlist work? 

            If your preferred lot is full, you may join a waitlist. PTS will monitor lot capacity and notify individuals if additional parking permits become available within the permit year.  

             

            New 2025-26 permit passes go into effect on Aug. 15. How will existing and future parking permit holders access gated lots and decks before Aug. 15? 

            If you have a valid 2024-25 permit or have purchased a 2025–26 permit, you will be allowed to park in your assigned location Aug.1 – 14. PTS staff will be on-site to assist in the event you need to be redirected to another lot due to capacity.  

            New permit holders (i.e., 2025-26 permits) do not need to purchase a 2024-25 permit to cover parking for Aug. 1 – 14. Purchasing a 2025–26 permit is sufficient, and PTS will provide a grace period for those returning before Aug. 15. 

             

            Will parking deck and lot gates be open Aug. 1 – 14? 

            Yes, gates will be open leading up to Aug. 15, when 2025-26 parking permits go into effect. Those accessing these lots must have a valid 2024-25 or 2025-26 parking permit. 

             

            How is PTS managing campus parking and availability? 

            PTS is monitoring demand through permit sales and other data sources. The fall semester is a busy time on campus, and some lots will reach capacity during peak times. However, PTS currently anticipates that overall campus parking availability will meet demand and will be on-site to assist with overflow parking if needed. 

             

            Will parking regulations be enforced? 

            Parking regulations remain in effect. PTS will be focused on supporting a smooth transition and ensuring that parking access is consistent with permit status and safety needs. View rules and regulations here.  

             

            If I haven’t yet purchased a parking permit, what options are available to me? 

            PTS offers a variety of campus parking permits designed to meet the needs of each person who drives to campus. In addition to annual parking permits, PTS offers permits for those who want more flexible options, including carpool permits, flex permits, SmartPark permits, and more. Click here to learn more about permit options for the campus community.  

            Visit Driver’s Seat to manage your account and purchase your 2025-26 parking permit.  

             

            Will there be an increase in cost for 2025-26 parking permits? 

            No. Parking rates remain unchanged for the 2025-26 academic year. 

             

            What alternative modes of commuting to campus are available to me?  

            Georgia Tech offers many additional commute options for students, faculty, and staff who choose not to drive to campus. Whether you carpool together, bicycle to campus, ride Atlanta public transportation, or rent e-scooters, you can find a commute option that best fits your needs. Learn more. 

             

            PTS is committed to providing more information as it becomes available. The team appreciates the patience and flexibility of the campus community.
