It will first focus on the West Side of the city and the Belvedere Park area, two communities that are poorly served by transit and home to a low-income population. The pilot will demonstrate these potential benefits in the field and, in particular, for communities that have been significantly disadvantaged in the past. They have the potential to improve mobility for all population segments, and are convenient, economically sustainable, and environmental friendly. ODMTSs are a new generation of public transit systems that combine on-demand shuttles to serve the first/last miles, with high-frequency rail and/or bus routes to transport commuters on dense and congested corridors. This NSF CIVIC grant will pilot an On-Demand Multimodal Public Transit System (ODMTS) in Atlanta to improve accessibility to jobs, health care, and decent groceries.
