The new authority will streamline and strengthen key transportation functions previously carried out by the Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority (ATL) and the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA).
Reddy, who has served on the board of the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA) for the past 22 years under three governors, said he was “grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the people of our great state and to contribute to Georgia’s transportation future through this new role.”
The newly formed authority is expected to focus on improving transportation efficiency, mobility, and economic development as Georgia continues to experience rapid population growth and increasing infrastructure demands, particularly in the Atlanta metropolitan region.
