Regional Transit Plan REGIONAL TRANSIT PLAN PREPARED BY November 2019 placeholder for ARTP adopting resolution REGIONAL TRANSIT PLAN | i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND ASSURANCE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION The Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority (the ATL) would like to thank the ATL Board members, its transportation partners from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Region IV Office, and each of the transit operators, Community Improvement Districts (CIDs), and local agencies within the 13-county ATL area that participated in developing the 2019 ATL Regional Transit Plan (ARTP). Assurance of Non-Discrimination No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance (Title VI of Civil Right Act of 1964 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, and as amended, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 P.I. 100.259). This includes funds received by the ATL through the United State Department of Transportation (USDOT), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), or the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA). Further, no otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance (Rehabilitation Act of 1973 29 U.S.C. § 794). The ATL utilizes its Title VI Plan to ensure that its programs and services are conducted in a nondiscriminatory manner, without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability. For a copy of the ATL’s Title VI Plan, please visit ATL’s website at https://atltransit.ga.gov/accessibility-and-civil-rights/. The ATL is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, its services based on the qualities protected under Title VI, whether or not those programs or activities are federally funded.

  • Decatur's Transportation Network, 2007
    3 • Decatur’s Transportation Network, 2007 CHAPTER • 3 Decatur’s Transportation Network, 2007 othing speaks louder of a city’s transportation system than how its residents use it. A public survey conducted as part of the CTP revealed that sixty-seven N percent of commuters drive alone to get to work or school. Over 20 percent of commuters in Decatur either walk, bike or take transit. Even more interesting, 79 percent of residents reported having walked or ridden a bike to downtown Decatur. Additionally, the majority of residents feel that it is easy to get around the City. These results indicate a system that already provides a lot of choice for travelers. The following sections detail the extent of these choices, i.e. the facilities that make up the existing Decatur transportation network. The CTP uses this snapshot of how Decatur gets around in 2007 to recommend how the City can build upon its existing strengths to realize its vision of a healthy and well-connected community. Existing Street Network Streets are where it all comes together for travel in and through Decatur. The streets and their edges provide places for people to walk, bicycle and travel in buses and other vehicles. Compared with the MARTA rail system and off-road paths and greenways, the street system in Decatur accommodates the majority of travel and is detailed below. Roadway Classification in Decatur In 1974, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published the manual Highway Functional Classification - Concepts, Criteria and Procedures. The manual was revised in 1989 and forms the basis of this roadway classification inventory.
