The expansion of transit in the I-85 corridor is a major component of this project. In addition, the metro Atlanta region’s Concept 3 Transit Vision includes expanded rail and BRT in the corridor that could potentially be part of a future expanded HOT network. While new and expanded forms of public transit and roadways are all options, the population is growing faster than the time it takes to complete expensive, long-term projects. This project will make investments that will have a more immediate impact on commuters.
