Thurs 5/16: MARTA Public Hearing Notice for FY25 Budget Proposal
Ford Atlanta Mobility Challenge - Proposal Deadline May 19
Greetings,
The deadline is approaching to submit proposals for the Ford Urbanite Atlanta Mobility Challenge. Proposals are due May 19, 2024 at 11:59 pm.
The Urbanite Mobility Challenge in Atlanta, a collaboration led by Ford, AT&T, Delta Air Lines, the Metro Atlanta Chamber, and Novelis with the support of the Partnership for Southern Equity as local anchor, is an opportunity for local and national entrepreneurs to propose equitable mobility solutions for pilot grant funding– up to $150,000 – to be piloted in the metropolitan Atlanta area in 2024, further accelerating the region as a mobility innovation testbed and fostering a just transition to equitable mobility that is crucial to the economic, social and environmental well-being of all Atlanta residents.
Safe and accessible mobility is a necessity for creating economic opportunity, especially in a metro region where affordable housing and job centers are disconnected. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference in Atlanta's mobility landscape. If you have a creative and impactful solution to address transportation challenges in our city, we encourage you to submit your proposal by clicking the link below:

The public can now view all scheduled weekend lane closures at http://www.dot.ga.gov/ds/metrolaneclosures.
