Frequently Asked Questions

The Atlanta Regional Commission is working to identify potential sites for new passenger rail stations in Atlanta. Your feedback will help build a clear picture of our region’s future.

This plan is focused on all areas within the city limits of the City of Atlanta. View a map of the city, council district boundaries, and other geographic data here: https://www.atlantaga.gov/government/departments/c...

This project was awarded to WSP and its partners in Summer 2025 and is expected to end in December 2025 with the submittal of a completed study to the Atlanta Regional Commission. Visit the Schedule Tab for a detailed breakdown of the planning process schedule and key upcoming dates.

Hearing from people on their firsthand experiences is critical to understanding the nuances of the user experience for passenger rail customers in the Atlanta area: What is working well? What are the opportunities for improvements? What are the challenges to overcome? Alongside technical analyses of the existing conditions and input from key stakeholders responsible for delivering infrastructure, policies, and programs, this study will incorporate feedback from residents and business owners about their priorities for siting new passenger rail stations. Public and stakeholder input will be used directly in the development of a vision and supporting goals for this study as well as help inform the development of strategies for improving conditions for passenger rail throughout the Atlanta area.
