SUMMARY:Georgia Smart Communities Challenge Final Presentation: Streamlining Suburban Transit in Sandy Springs
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the Partnership for Inclusive Innovation supports communities across Georgia through the Georgia Smart Communities Challenge community research assistance program. Georgia Smart empowers communities to envision and plan for a smarter future by providing opportunities to work with Georgia Tech and university researchers to advance local initiatives. In 2020\, the city of Sandy Springs was one of four communities supported by Georgia Smart for their “Streamlining Suburban Transit” project\, which sought to pilot Transit Signal Priority with an Application Program Interface. \nOver the last year\, the Sandy Springs project and research team have worked together to plan\, install\, pilot\, and evaluate the innovative TSP system using an API\, including its effects on the corresponding bus system. The project sought to improve mobility\, maximize the transit system and improve walkability and sense of place in the Perimeter and Roswell Road areas without the need for extensive infrastructure investments such as bus-only lanes or expensive hardware and radios. Specifically\, Sandy Springs will test TSP on MARTA bus route 5 which connects the Dunwoody and Lindbergh MARTA rail stations and operates with 15-minute headway. \nPlease join the Partnership and the Georgia Planning Association for this virtual event of the City of Sandy Springs’ final project presentation. We will celebrate the progress this project has made over the last year while learning more about the process\, technology\, and support necessary to make this a reality in other Georgia communities. \n1 CM Credit \nRegister Here \nSpeakers\nKristen Wescott\nCity of Sandy Springs\nTransportation and Traffic Unit Manager \nMs. Wescott oversees the Traffic Management Center and transportation planning and engineering staff.

SUMMARY:Georgia Smart Communities Challenge Final Presentation: Clayton County “Smart Pedestrian Planning”
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the Partnership for Inclusive Innovation supports communities across Georgia through the Georgia Smart Communities Challenge community research assistance program. Georgia Smart empowers communities to envision and plan for a smarter future by providing opportunities to work with Georgia Tech and university researchers to advance local initiatives. In 2020\, Clayton County was one of four communities supported by Georgia Smart for their “Smart Pedestrian Planning” project\, which sought to identify smart technologies to support walkability in the community. \nOver the last year\, the Clayton County project team has employed local high school students to use new semi-automated data collection methods to inventory roadsides and sidewalks throughout the county and along main pedestrian corridors to build a robust database needed to support the pedestrian asset management system. \nPlease join the Partnership and the Georgia Planning Association for this virtual event of Clayton County’s final project presentation. We will celebrate the progress this project has made over the last year while learning more about the process\, technology\, and support necessary to make this a reality in other Georgia communities. \n1 CM Credit \nRegister Here \nSpeakers\nJason Brookins \nClayton County \nDirector of Information Technology\nMr. Brookins is a Certified Government Chief Information Officer (CGCIO).  \nRandall Guensler\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\nProfessor\nDr. Randall Guensler has directed more than $20 million in university research and managed the\ninterdisciplinary DRIVE lab research team.
