Metros are living longer. In some counties, mostly rural, life expectancy ACTUALLY FELL!
And as you can see here, the South Atlantic region – Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida – is expected to add more people than any other region in the nation over the next 25 years or so. This should bode well for our economic future. Still, there are plenty of opportunities for us to make sure metro Atlanta not only participates in this growth, but becomes the place to be for the next generation of creative workers.

First, let me tell you a little about what the Atlanta Regional Commission or ARC is and does.
We are designated by the state as one of 12 regional commissions to coordinate land use planning and development amongst the state’s counties. Every county in Georgia is a member of one of these 12 regional commissions. ARC’s 10-county area is represented in white on this map.
ARC is probably best known for its involvement in metro Atlanta’s transportation planning. ARC is designated by the federal government as the metropolitan planning organization, or MPO, for the “urbanized Atlanta region.” The “urbanized area” is determined every 10 years by the U.S. Census Bureau. Currently, the Atlanta urbanized area covers these 20 counties. Soon it will grow to include all or parts of 23 counties based on the 2010 Census.
Being the MPO means that all the federal transportation money for our 20 counties comes through ARC. So, if you’re a local jurisdiction and you want to use any federal dollars for transportation, your project or program has to be in the region’s plans.
Along with land use and transportation, we also have many other federal and state designations. The acronyms for all of these would cause your head to spin: the AAA, the ARWB, the EDD, the MNGWPD, the MAPDC, and… well, you get the picture. A bunch of official government stuff. What it really means is that we are involved in many aspects of life in metro Atlanta: land use planning and community development; water supply planning, water conservation and water quality; services for our rapidly aging and disabled populations; development of a workforce that is ready to tackle the jobs of today and tomorrow.
So, it’s through this very broad lens that ARC views the regional community. And, it’s through this lens that I would like to speak to you today.
Of course, if our population isn’t employed, it’s hard to have a successful region now or in the future.
After the vote on the transportation referendum, people began asking what “Plan B” is. Folks, the referendum was a Plan B of sorts. The Atlanta region already has a 25-year Regional Transportation Plan with roughly $60 billion in federal funding. The referendum was an opportunity to begin to close the gap between that and the $60 billion worth of projects and programs we need in order to keep up with our growth.
The challenge, as you can see here, is that most of that $60 billion goes to maintaining the extensive network we already have.
First 6 years of the RTP are the Transportation Improvement Program. The current TIP, from 2012-2017 has about $7.6 billion worth of transportation funding in it.
As the MPO, ARC manages both of these plans. The projects meet the guidelines of the USDOT and the statewide plan developed by GDOT. However, the projects and programs that get funded are, for the most part, recommended by the local communities where they will be implemented.
For example, the current TIP, from 2012-2017, includes major projects like the new toll lanes on I-75 north and south of I-285, some work on major state highways like Highway 92 and Highway 20. It includes some transit, like the Atlanta Streetcar. But it also includes many projects and programs that have a much more local impact. These “local” projects all work together to help metro Atlantans get where they need to go all across the region.
Of course, if the Governor and GDOT decide to make a major project like Georgia 400 and I-285 a priority, and they can find funding for it, something like that would be added to the TIP.
The RTP has some transit, for example, the Clifton Corridor, the I-20 East and possible MARTA expansion up Georgia 400. And both the RTP and TIP include many of the “small” projects that provide a lot of bang for the buck, like signal retiming, intersection improvements and the like.
