Georgia 2050 Statewide Transit Plan

Purpose of Project

The purpose of the Georgia DOT 2050 Statewide Transit Plan was to coordinate with local governments, planning agencies, and transit providers to document transit needs across the state and prioritize future investments. The plan supports Georgia DOT’s multimodal planning efforts and identifies strategies to ensure all Georgians have access to public transit. The plan was developed for GDOT’s Intermodal Division.

​

​Our Role on the Project

Modern Mobility Partners (MMP) assisted with the development of GDOT's first comprehensive Statewide Transit Plan (SWTRP), establishing Georgia's long-term vision and strategies for public transit development through 2050. MMP conducted a high-level overview of urban and rural transit programs statewide, a transit needs assessment, and an analysis of demographic and development trends. The team also evaluated service alternatives, examined funding mechanisms, and developed a funding strategy aligned with plan recommendations. MMP developed a robust matrix of transit performance measures for consideration. The plan was completed in December 2020.

Problem Solvers

Unique challenges of this plan included identifying useful and quantifiable performance measures that align with the plan’s overall vision and developing a realistic funding strategy to support the plan. Our solutions effectively addressed these challenges by carefully selecting and vetting a wide variety of metrics to align with the vision, goals, and objectives and identifying baseline, low, medium, and high funding scenarios to understand the range of potential future funding levels and develop a realistic, financially feasible plan.
