ATL AIRPORT COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS ANNOUNCES
AUTOMATED TRANSIT NETWORK PILOT PROJECT
“24 HOUR TRANSIT COVERAGE”
The “first and last mile problem” or, the walking trip from a formal bus stop or transit
station to the riders’ final destination, is one of the main transit deficiencies that can be
addressed with Microtransit. This can be important for lower-income users who may
have fewer transportation options available to them, and in industrial employment
centers where pedestrian infrastructure is limited or nonexistent. Microtransit will
eliminate excessive transfers along with providing 24-hour transit coverage in the South
Metro area. Our goal within the ATL Airport Community Improvement Districts area is to
improve mobility mainly for those traveling during 2nd and 3rd shift hours and to grow
ridership by providing first mile and last mile access within ATL Airport CID boundaries.
