As the Atlanta region has grown over the past half-century, so has its transportation needs. To meet transit service needs, multiple systems beyond the original MARTA have sprung up, including county-operated bus or vanpool services in Cobb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, Henry, and Douglas counties.
ARC has facilitated dialogue over the past 15 years about how to make transit trips more seamless for the customer, first through the Regional Transit Institutional Analysis, then the Transit Planning Board, which finally evolved into the Regional Transit Committee of today. ARC also endorsed in 2011 a potential regional governance framework, containing many ideas which have merit in current legislative discussions.
To fulfill the vision of a comprehensive regional transit network for the 21st century, ARC is committed to work with legislators and other stakeholders on a governance framework that allows this vision to become reality.
ARC’s Strategic Partners are committed to fostering collaborative regional approaches that improve quality of life in metro Atlanta. Their support elevates ARC leadership programs, research and events throughout the year. Learn more
