Regional Active Transportation Roundtable

The Regional Active Transportation Roundtable is a group made up of local planning staff and trail advocates from across metro Atlanta organized by the Atlanta Regional Commission. At each meeting, attendees are invited to share brief updates on planned or constructed trails in their communities. Other presentations and discussions may cover safety, equity, relevant federal and state legislation, and funding opportunities. The Regional Active Transportation Roundtable is also intended to provide the opportunity to coordinate across jurisdictional boundaries and share best practices in trail planning and implementation.

2026 Safety & Active Transportation Roundtable Series

The 2026 Roundtable schedule is currently being developed to support the creation of the next Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). While the full MTP schedule of work is still forthcoming, ARC staff have organized a series of early-year events and trainings focused on safety analysis tools, data resources, and implementation strategies relevant to active transportation planners and partners.
