Transportation - Planning and Programs Division - Mass Transport Urban Area System Files
Scope and Contents
These records are mass transportation urban area system files which were created by the Division of Planning and Programming, Department of Transportation. The files include folders containing departmental memorandums, correspondence, and copies of community transportation committee minutes, and technical reports containing maps, summaries, annual reports of community transportation committees, draft statements, and technical papers. These files relate to grant application procedures, the status of study projects, and the general economic, engineering, and environmental effects of the planning and development of mass transportation for communities with over 25,000 population. These records reflect an attempt to plan urban transportation services cooperatively and democratically among local community groups and interests. Signigicantly, these files illustrate the evolving interest of the Georgia Department of Transportation and smaller cities from vehicle transportation to interest in some type of mass transit, in part because of the stimulus of the federal Urban Mass Transit Authority.
