It was set up under former governor of Georgia Roy Barnes, in order to address mobility, air quality and land use and how they relate to the transportation needs of metro Atlanta, including both roads and public transit.[1]
GRTA’s jurisdiction encompasses 13 Georgia counties in Metro Atlanta: Cherokee, Clayton, Coweta, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding, and Rockdale.
The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority was proposed by then-governor of Georgia Roy Barnes to created on March 23, 1999 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly.[2]
