EARLY SCOPING
Clayton County High Capacity Transit Initiative
Purpose of Early Scoping
5
• Optional step for community involvement during planning phase
• Encouraged by Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to streamline process
• Input and comments considered in the formal environmental review process
• Refines the project definition, identifies stakeholders, potential issues and concerns
• Helps narrows the range of transit alternatives in a large study area
SUMMARY OF KICK-OFF PUBLIC AND AGENCY OUTREACH
Clayton County High Capacity Transit Initiative
6
• Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
– October 25th - MARTA Bid Room
• Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC)
– October 27th – Clayton County Board of Commissioners Office
• Public Meetings
– November 10th – Riverdale Town Center
– November 17th – Clayton State University
Clayton County High Capacity Transit Initiative
Kick Off Public and Agency Outreach Meetings
7
• Schedule for completion of the study
• Expected date of implementation of high capacity transit service
• Frequency and on-time performance of existing transit service
• Routing, transit mode, and end of line of the high capacity transit service
• Public infrastructure improvements, opportunities for input, and safety
• Bus stop amenities (i.e. benches, shelters, trash receptacles)

PURPOSE AND NEED/ GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Clayton County High Capacity Transit Initiative
9
Clayton County High Capacity Transit Initiative
Baseline Conditions Key Themes
• Continued population and employment growth
• Increased demand on transportation networks to access jobs
• Increased traffic congestion - Tara Blvd, SR85, SR54, SR138 & I-75
• Growing demand for transit for local and regional trips
• Transit supportive development is needed along major corridors
• Most development activity occurring in northern half of County
10
Clayton County High Capacity Transit Initiative
Transportation Problem Statements
• Mobility and connectivity in Clayton County will be limited by the following:
– Population and employment growth that increases travel demand
– Lack of transit service to potential transit oriented developments (TODs), redevelopment areas, and activity centers
– Increased traffic congestion and delay
– High number of traditional transit riders
– High commute travel demand
– Existing transit travel times are not competitive
11
Clayton County High Capacity Transit Initiative
Purpose and Need Statement
• The purpose of the Clayton High Capacity Transit Initiative Project is to:
– Provide high capacity transit investments that:
• Improve access to jobs
• Enhance mobility
• Accommodate increasing demand for transit
• Support land use and economic development plans
– Improve travel times and for commuters travelling to and from activity centers in the Atlanta Region and within Clayton County
12
Clayton County High Capacity Transit Initiative
Project Need
• Greater Access to Jobs and Education
• Additional Travel Options
• Regional Connections
• Growing Demand for Transit
• Support Land Use & Economic Development
13
Clayton County High Capacity Transit Initiative
Goals and Objectives
• Goal 1: Mobility and Access– Improve travel times and connectivity
within Clayton County and to/from the Atlanta region
• Goal 2: Support Land Use Plans– Support transit supportive land uses
identified in local land use plans
– Support TOD initiatives
• Goal 3: Economic Development– Support economic development and
redevelopment areas
14
Clayton County High Capacity Transit Initiative
Goals and Objectives
• Goal 4: Cost Effectiveness– Provide high capacity transit service that can be implemented with
existing funding sources
– Increase benefits to transportation system users
• Goal 5: Sustainability– Provide high capacity transit service that can be operated and maintained
with existing and future resources
– Minimize impacts to the natural and built environments as well as social and cultural resources

Previous Studies/Analysis
17
• Clayton Extension Report (June 2014)
• Clayton County High Capacity Transit – Conceptual Planning Technical Memorandum (September 2014)
• Connect existing MARTA rail system to Lovejoy in Clayton County
• Six potential corridors evaluated for high capacity transit
• Norfolk Southern rail corridor involves continued coordination between MARTA and railroad company
