The Atlanta Regional Commission Board has adopted a Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan for the Atlanta Region, which is designed to improve mobility options for individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes.
The plan, which was last updated in 2017, identifies mobility needs of these populations, updates strategies to improve regional coordination and service delivery, and identifies projects and planning efforts for funding and implementation.
The plan includes three key strategic recommendations:
- Develop regional mobility hubs that integrate multiple transportation modes and improve safety.
- Implement an integrated regional trip planner and mobile application that incorporates demand response services and consolidates cross-jurisdictional travel options into a single, user-friendly platform.
- Adopt a regional fare payment system to simplify travel for riders and reduce administrative costs for service providers
