Project Statement
The Bus Stop & Transfer Facilities Improvement Project includes transit related improvements for the land acquisition, design, and construction of decentralized transit transfer facilities outside of the downtown terminal.

Project Update
ACCGov Transit has been awarded an FTA/GDOT 5339 discretionary grant for funding to identify and procure property, design, and complete a NEPA for a Remote Transfer Facility has been approved by GDOT and FTA. The approved grant is $400,000, with a required $100,000 local match, bringing the project total to $500,000. This discretionary grant application was approved by the Mayor & Commission and submitted in November 2019. It identified matching funds from the 2018 TSPLOST Project # 3, as a local match. The original application was for $1,000,000, with a $250,000 local match. However, this grant only provides for $400,000 of Federal funding, and requires a $100,000 local match.
The Proposed Project Concept for the Transfer Facility for the Mall Redevelopment area was presented to the Oversight Committee on April 15, 2024, and the Mayor & Commission approved the project concept on May 7, 2024.
