Study Area and Background
The Dougherty Area Regional Transportation Study (DARTS) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is updating its Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) to reflect transportation infrastructure and policy needs through horizon year 2050. The MTP will include short and long term strategies and actions for the development of an integrated transportation system to facilitate the movement of people and goods. The DARTS study area includes the City of Albany, Dougherty County and the southern part of Lee County.
On Tuesday, March 19, DARTS will hold a public meeting to present the current conditions and to receive input on needs and potential improvements. The community is encouraged to attend.
DARTS encourages the community to complete a survey about transportation needs and opportunities available at www.dartsmpo.org/darts-2050-mtp. Community involvement is vital to ensure the development of a plan which achieves comprehensive and equitable transportation investment in the DARTS area.
Stakeholders responsible for implementation and members of the community are encouraged to participate throughout the plan development process. The plan update began during fall of 2023 and a draft of the final plan is anticipated to be available for public review and comment in October 2024.
