Piloting On-Demand Multimodal Transit in Atlanta
Organization: Georgia Tech
Primary Investigator: Pascal Van Hentenryck
Research Track: Resource and Service Equity
Georgia Tech researchers, in collaboration with several Metro Atlanta transit services, are piloting a next-generation on-demand transit system in Gwinnett County and the city of Smyrna, fundamentally transforming accessibility to jobs, healthcare, education, and quality food. By solving the infamous first/last mile problem in a sustainable way, the pilot program hopes to fundamentally transform public transit into a flexible, scalable, and affordable system that meets the needs of all residents regardless of where they live in the service area.
