The addition of bus only lanes in Downtown is consistent with recommendations of the Downtown Atlanta Master Plan, the Downtown Commuter Bus Routing & Infrastructure Study, and the City of Atlanta's One Atlanta: Strategic Transportation Plan.
In 2020, the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) awarded a Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) grant to CAP/ADID to advance the planning and early design of the Courtland Street bus only lane. A consultant team developed the conceptual design for the corridor and its associated transit stops at Auburn Avenue, Ellis Street, and Gilmer Street. A summary report is available here. To date, much of the design has been informed by close consultation with the regional bus operators and area stakeholders. CAP/ADID is currently seeking funding to advance construction of the lane, which is anticipated to occur in 2024.
