Studies
Planning studies aid the Department’s effort to identify and address transportation needs on our system.
Active Planning Studies
Butts-Jones-Monroe Multi-County Study. The purpose of this study is to develop individual transportation plans for Butts, Jones, and Monroe Counties and their municipalities that will provide policy guidance and project recommendations to improve the transportation infrastructure needed to serve future travel demand. This study will evaluate and address the current and future transportation needs up to the year 2035.
Chatham Interstate Study. The purpose of the study is to identify potential Interstate System transportation deficiencies in Chatham County and to recommend and prioritize solutions which address those deficiencies. The study will focus on the Interstate System transportation needs through the year 2035. The study will also consider congestion, the impact of development, truck and freight traffic, port access, and what the impacts of potential alternatives could have on Chatham County's historic, community, and natural resources.
East Georgia Multi-County Transportation Study. Greene, Jasper, Morgan, and Putnam Counties, in association with the Georgia Department of Transportation, developed a Multi-County Transportation Study to address transportation needs in the four-county area. While the four-county area was evaluated as a whole in order to address development impacts and infrastructure deficiencies that cross county lines, each county received a customized individual transportation plan.
Interstate 285 Strategic Implementation Plan. The Strategic Implementation Plan for I-285 is aimed to minimize congestion and to maintain safe and efficient operations over the next 25 years.
Multi-Modal Transportation Study for Effingham County. The Georgia Department of Transportation, in cooperation with Effingham County, has initiated a multi-modal transportation study for the county and the cities of Guyton, Rincon, and Springfield. The outcome of the study will be a plan that elected officials and other policy makers can use to guide the transportation decision-making process in the county and the cities over the next 25 years, including a projected doubling of population and employment. The Transportation Plan, scheduled for completion in summer 2008, will be a companion to the recently completed Comprehensive Plan.
Southwest Georgia Interstate Study. The study will investigate all of Southwest Georgia and identify all roadway capacity and operational needs to improve the region’s access to I-185, I-75 and I-10.
SR 400 and SR 365 Corridor Studies. The Georgia Department of Transportation, Office of Planning, has selected the ARCADIS consultant team to assist in the analysis of the conditions, operations and limited access potential of the SR 400 and SR 365 Corridors located within Dawson, Forsyth, Habersham, Hall, and Lumpkin Counties. This comprehensive study will result in the identification and prioritization of projects along the SR 400 and SR 365 corridors to address safety, congestion, mobility enhancement, and economic development potential through the proactive use of community input and technical analysis.
