Regional Transportation Plan Points

This layer was developed by the Transportation Access & Mobility Division of the Atlanta Regional Commission to represent a subset of projects contained in the Transportation Element of The Atlanta Region’s Plan, also referred to as the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The plan covers all or parts of 20 counties and inclusive of the short-range FY 2024-2027 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP and RTP, as well as this layer, were formally adopted by the ARC Board on February 2024. Projects in this layer are buffered linear features and follow specifically defined corridors. Example project types include roadway widenings, operational and signal coordination projects along existing roads, bicycle paths, sidewalks and new transit services. In addition to these buffered projects, line and point layers are also included.. Please note that the RTP Layer represents all of the "mappable" linear and point projects in a buffered polygon format. As such, most users would probably want to use only the RTP Layer, but the line and point shapefiles are included if more precise feature location is required. Attributes: Exist_Lane = Existing lanes on roadway facility (if applicable) Prop_Lanes = The number of lanes on the facility as a result of the proposed transportation improvement (if applicable) ARCID = Project ID PRJ_DESC = Project Description EXTENTS = Physical extents of the project along the described corridor LOCATION = Jurisdiction SPONSOR = Current Project sponsor PRJ_GROUP = General project group (roadway, transit, last mile connectivity, other) PRJ_TYPE = Specific project type STATUS = Status of the project (Programmed, Long Range or Aspirations) DOCNAME = PDF file name of the project’s fact sheet GDOTPI = GDOT project ID (if applicable) BUFFER = Buffer of 100 feet around feature PERSPOV = Yes/No Persistent Poverty tract intersect DISADV = Yes/No Disadvantaged Community tract intersect An update in April 2022 includes new layers and filters to show projects that fall within Census Tracts identified as Persistent Poverty by US DOT and Disadvantaged by the Council on Environmental Quality.
