THE FUTURE OF TRANSIT IN METRO ATLANTA

The Biltmore

Tuesday, September 26, 2006

7:30 a.m.- 9:30 a.m.

Transportation and mobility issues are among the greatest challenges to continued growth throughout the metro Atlanta region. With all the divergent discussions concerning different transit initiatives in metro Atlanta, ULI Atlanta is bringing together leaders from the Beltline, the Atlanta Streetcar project and the Brain Train Group to discuss their latest plans and initiatives, both independently and in the context of their interconnectivity with existing and planned transit alternatives throughout the metro region.

These proponents will share with attendees the political and economic hurdles they are working to overcome and the timelines for making these proposed transit options a reality. Panelists will address the transit alternatives they are considering and the impact these choices will have on initial development costs, long-term operating costs, and expected revenues from ridership. Finally, these experts will discuss the impact these initiatives are expected to have on development and land use throughout the entire metro region.

This program promises to be an exciting and informative discussion about one of the most pressing issues facing the all of metro Atlanta – we hope you can attend.
