What is Connect Atlanta?

This is Atlanta’s first CTP plan to evaluate all modes of transportation including roadway, air, transit, freight, bicycle, and walking facilities. Connect Atlanta will include in-depth community involvement to identify needs and options on how to improve each mode of transportation.

Connect Atlanta is an intensive thirteen-month comprehensive transportation study conducted in part through a grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission. 

Why do we need a Comprehensive Transportation Plan?

Atlanta needs a strong, clear vision for transportation to:

• Reduce congestion
• Meet the demands of a growing population
• Create an improved quality of living
• Create viable alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles

What will Connect Atlanta provide the City of Atlanta?

• A prioritized list of transit, roadway and alternative transportation improvements
• List of potential funding sources for future transportation project implementation
• A project tracking database
• Land use recommendations that encourage an efficient transportation system
