Anticipating an influx of nearly three million new residents by 2050, the Atlanta Regional Commission has approved a $172.6-billion plan to address transportation needs across the 20-county metropolitan area.
Part of what the ARC calls “a long-range blueprint that details the investments, programs and services needed to ensure metro Atlanta’s future,” the plan calls for spending approximately $102 billion on maintenance and upgrades to existing infrastructure, including road and bridge repair projects, purchase of new transit vehicles and systems to support connected vehicles.
