Resolution
In Support Of A Regional Transportation Funding Source
-
WHEREAS, the population of metro Atlanta has grown by approximately one million over the last
decade and, by 2030, the region is forecasted to gain an additional 2.3 million residents; and,
WHEREAS, cities and town centers are attracting or will attract significant new growth, which is the
result of demographic, economic, and lifestyle changes which are projected to continue for the foreseeable future;
and,
WHEREAS, the Atlanta Regional Transportation Plan depends on the accelerated development of
cities and town centers because of their unique capacity to support efficient transportation alternatives such as
public transit, bicycle and pedestrian improvements that reduce automotive transportation demand and contribute to
attainment of federal air quality standards, and,
WHEREAS, the Atlanta Regional Transportation Plan call for heavy investment in the continuation
and expansion of existing transit services and other alternative transportation infrastructure; and,
WHEREAS, the reauthorization of the federal transportation bill is expected to result in increased
federal funding to the Atlanta region which will require additional local match; and,
NOW THEREFORE BE IS RESOLVED and it is hereby resolved, by the Mayor and Council of the
City of Smyrna, Georgia, that the City of Smyrna fully supports a regional funding source for the region's
comprehensive transportation needs; and,
-
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED and it is hereby resolved, by the Mayor and Council of the City of

appropriate for the region and its cities.
