This is the last call for online Transportation Plan input.
There are two online opportunities for residents to contribute- a community survey, and a wikimap where respondents can identify problem areas throughout the city.
These opportunities are a part of an update to the Community Transportation Plan. The survey takes 10-15 minutes. Your input is important to us and your time is appreciated.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for DeKalb County from 5 a.m. Friday, December 8 until 7 a.m. Saturday, December 9. A winter weather advisory means that winter weather is expected and that residents should use caution. Light amounts of wintry precipitation or patchy blowing snow will cause slick conditions and could affect travel if precautions are not taken.
