Context

The rise of urbanization and increased reliance on the private vehicle as the primary mode of transportation has resulted in negative environmental and social impacts on cities around the world ranging from traffic congestion, carbon emissions and air pollution, urban sprawl and economic costs.

Vision

Atlanta’s Transportation Plan was created as a strategic document that outlined the future of transportation for the city. It envisions a transportation system that is safe, seamless, and equitable, and supports job and economic growth by reducing congestion and improving movement and access.

Method

Cityfi focused on stakeholder engagement at all levels, including strategic visioning and a project communications strategy. Cityfi also drafted the Implementation Strategy focused on “future proofing” policies, infrastructure, services and technology that is rapidly changing the way cities work, and can be utilized for positive change, but should not distract from the fundamentals that make cities like Atlanta great. Cityfi also participated in discussions around creating a standalone Department of Transportation.

The plan was published and implemented by the city in October 2017.
