Grant Will Help Develop Strategic Transportation Plan for Atlanta


January 31, 2007 By

Atlanta's Bureau of Planning will receive $1 million in federal funding from the Atlanta Regional Commission to create long-term transportation development initiatives for the city.

The grant, which required a $250,000 funding match by the city, will be used to develop the City of Atlanta's first Master Transportation Plan, which will help to responsibly manage the city's growth. The plan will focus on transit systems, bike trails, roadways and other transportation-related systems. The city will also make suggestions for improving Atlanta's existing transportation network.

The Master Transportation Plan will become apart of an overall Comprehensive Development Plan. The Comprehensive Development Plan is the city's long-term approach to addressing future growth, land use, economic development, housing and the expenditure of public funds.
