The City of Atlanta Launches it's First Comprehensive Transportation Plan

The Connect Atlanta Plan is a yearlong planning process to develop the City’s first citywide transportation plan. Last month and through out March the Connect Atlanta Plan has been conducting multi-day workshops. These interactive sessions are designed for the public to drop by at their convenience and work with the Connect Atlanta Plan on specific transportation challenges in your area. While the public can come anytime during the day, each multi-day workshop will have an introductory and final meeting in order to introduce the plan and workshop and then to present the work accomplished during the week. Public input is critical to this effort; please join one of the sessions!

For questions or to stay up to date with the Connect Atlanta Plan, please visit the plan’s website at www.connectatlantaplan.com or contact our helpline at 404.330.6800.
