The Southern Georgia Regional Commission holds its final public meeting to inform the public on the Southern Georgia Regional Transit Development Plan from 6-7 p.m., Thursday, April 17. 

This meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. Participants can access the public meeting at the project website, southernga-transitplan.com, or use direct meeting link, us02web.zoom.us/j/81929399311.

Community members are encouraged to attend the public meeting to learn about planning progress to-date and to provide feedback on preliminary goals, vision, and transit strategies for the 18-county Southern Georgia region. 

The planning team will provide opportunities for questions and input during the meeting and formally launch the final public survey to inform the plan recommendations.

About the regional TDP

The regional TDP will build upon Southern Georgia Regional Commission’s 2019 regional TDP, which was the impetus for the regional transit system that exists today. 

The new regional TDP will document conditions and trends impacting mobility in the region, evaluate current transit services, and gather input from residents on issues and concerns. Additionally, the planning process will identify the needs of vulnerable populations, address transit service gaps and identify opportunities to further facilitate travel between counties.

The regional TDP will identify long-term transit vision and goals, extending through 2050, and establish recommendations for the short-term (next five years), mid-term (six-10 years), and long-term (11-25 years). The plan is expected to be completed in fall 2025.
