The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA) is a government agency in the state of Georgia. It was set up in order to address mobility, air quality and land use and how they relate to the transportation needs of metro Atlanta, including both roads and public transit. It came about in large part because the numerous cities and counties in the region could not effectively work with each other to achieve a comprehensive solution to the area’s traffic woes, and increasing summertime smog problems.
The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA) is a state-level authority that addresses mobility and air quality in metro Atlanta. In 2017, GRTA and State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA) became administratively attached and began providing the services of both state authorities. As such, all functions for both authorities are provided by the staff and leadership of SRTA.
GRTA’s jurisdiction encompasses 13 Georgia counties in Metro Atlanta: Cherokee, Clayton, Coweta, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding, and Rockdale.
