The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is developing a statewide active transportation plan focused on small towns and rural areas of the state. Active transportation includes pedestrian and bicycle modes of transportation as well as micromobility modes like scooters and e-bikes. The plan will provide GDOT with a framework to guide investment and policy recommendations to improve active transportation safety, connectivity, comfort and education in these areas.

Based on national and international best practices, detailed data analyses, and input from key stakeholders and the public, the resulting forward-thinking plan will position Georgia as a leader in proactively planning for the expansion and implementation of active transportation facilities.
