Mobility in Metro Atlanta: Your Civic Dinner Feedback at Work

It’s no surprise that mobility has been a popular ARC Civic Dinners topic. After all, traffic affects all of us, and lord knows we love to talk about it.

Of course, transportation has been in the headlines lately. You’ve likely heard the big news: State lawmakers have passed legislation that creates a regional transit authority, to be called The Atlanta-region Transit Link, or The ATL. ARC was part of the discussions that led to this historic legislation—and we’ve been listening to what you’ve told us at your Civic Dinners on Mobility.

Things like...

“People with limited resources depend heavily on public transportation. More affordable options are needed.”

“The turnaround for infrastructure processes is too long. We need to find ways to deliver transit improvements in less than decades, and pedestrian improvements in less than years. There are diminishing benefits to adding additional time studying a project.”

Learn more about what people are saying when it comes to mobility in metro Atlanta and sign up to host or attend a Mobility civic dinner.
