Land use policy is determined by local jurisdictions and GDOT is not involved in land use policy. The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA) does have review authority of large-scale new developments. GRTA reviews Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs) for the impact on the region’s transportation network and identifies ways to reduce any negative impacts. In addition, GDOT and GRTA evaluate the impact of new transportation projects on the environment, in accordance with NEPA. Impacts on land use are included in the analysis.
