Project - GEORGIA: Express Toll Lanes on I-75 in Atlanta

This study examined the I-75 travel corridor in Atlanta to determine if value pricing in combination with Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) could reduce the existing high levels of congestion. The I-75 facility is ranked among Atlanta's six most congested corridors. The study team conducted public outreach and a traffic and revenue analysis for the corridor. The project evaluated the feasibility of implementing value pricing concepts and Bus Rapid Transit in the I-75 corridor.

Feasibility Funds Awarded

2004

Study Completed

The final report is available on the State Road Toll Authority Web site at www.georgiatolls.com. Managed lanes with pricing will definitely be implemented on I-75 through Atlanta. The project is currently projected to take place in 5-7 years because new lanes must be built to permit the priced lanes.
