Northwest Georgia Vanpool Study Public Survey

The purpose of this Northwest Georgia Regional Vanpool Study is to determine the feasibility of a Vanpool program capable of linking long distance commuters from similar origins to similar destinations throughout the 15-county region.  If a Vanpool program is determined feasible, the study will identify a preferred Vanpool operating model that best meets the needs of commuters within the study area and presents the most significant opportunities for expanded access to employment for residents residing within rural communities in the study area. This study will support the mission to seek innovative approaches to the economic advancement and prosperity of Rural GA.
