Cottà residents have a new transportation option with the recent launch of Henry Connect, the region's first fixed-route public bus service. The initiative, supported by local government, aims to bridge connectivity gaps and enhance accessibility for the community. Starting this week, Henry Connect will operate a route connecting downtown Cottà with Piedmont Henry Hospital and the neighboring Stockbridge area. This service is designed to provide reliable transportation for commuting to work, attending medical appointments, and accessing other vital community resources. The county has indicated that this is part of a broader strategy to expand public transit networks within the region. As an incentive for early adoption, riders using the Henry Connect service during its initial month of operation may be eligible for free fares. This introductory period is intended to encourage residents to utilize and familiarize themselves with the new transit system, fostering wider community engagement and adoption. This new bus service represents a significant step toward improving the daily lives of Cottà residents by offering a more accessible and convenient way to navigate the area and its key destinations.
