Transit Planning Board

Transit Planning Board

The Transit Planning Board is a joint commission of the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA), and Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA).

The TPB partnership was founded in 2006, holding its first meeting on February 16, adopting bylaws on April 20, and adopting a work plan on August 17. It states that it "is a partnership leading the establishment and maintenance of a seamless, integrated transit network for the Atlanta region.

Specifically, TPB will:
* Develop a regional transit plan including a comprehensive financial plan;
* Work to improve regional service coordination, including integrating fares, marketing and customer information;
* Measure system performance; and,
* Advocate for increased federal funding for regional transit."
