1.0 Introduction

Growth in Greene, Jasper, Morgan, and Putnam Counties has resulted in increased travel demand through the 4-County Region. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Office of Planning, in conjunction with these four Counties, initiated the East Georgia MultiCounty Transportation Study to develop a Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) to serve the 4-County Region through the planning horizon, 2030. Currently, the transportation planning function for the Counties is provided by GDOT through coordination with each County. The Multi-County Transportation Study is built upon existing work efforts to date, and provides a mechanism for guiding transportation decision-making as development pressures increase through the 4-County Region.

HNTB coordinated with GDOT, Greene, Jasper, Morgan, and Putnam Counties, local cities, and other partners in the planning, development, review, and approval of potential improvements. Additionally, a comprehensive and interactive public involvement program was conducted. This ensured that alternative transportation improvements were not only coordinated with various governments, but afforded individual citizens and interested groups the opportunity to provide their input in developing and evaluating potential improvements to each County's transportation network.

Study efforts produced a LRTP that provides for the efficient movement of people and goods within and through the study area through the study horizon year (2030). Interim analysis was conducted for the year 2015. As part of this effort, existing and future operating conditions were documented for the following modes: roadways, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, freight, transit, railways, and airports. Ultimately, individual LRTPs were prepared for each County.

1.1 Study Purpose

The purpose of the LRTP is to identify long-range transportation needs, determine resources to meet those needs, and outline a framework of projects that meet the transportation needs of a community to the extent allowed by existing and future resources. While the 4-County Region is not within a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) service area, the transportation plan development process followed the guidelines established for MPO's. This more rigorous process established a strong framework for transportation planning and decision-making. The format of the LRTP, and the process by which it was developed, is prescribed by federal legislation known the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU).

LRTPs are required to have a planning horizon of 20 or more years. This time frame provides a basic structure and overall goal for meeting the long-term transportation needs for the community. Since many factors influencing the development of the LRTP, such as demographics, forecast revenue, and project costs, change over time, long range transportation plans should be updated at least every five years.

1.2 Study Area Description

The study area is located along the I-20 corridor in northeast Georgia, east of Atlanta. In recent years, communities located in the I-20 corridor from South Carolina to Alabama have recognized the economic importance of the corridor in attracting manufacturing, distribution, logistics, and warehousing operations and the associated residential, commercial, and office development that supports these valuable businesses.

Greene, Jasper, Morgan and Putnam Counties cover a land area of just over 1,453 square miles. According to the University of Georgia, the area features many appealing points of interest and is significant to the State's natural and built environments as well as its cultural and historic assets, creating unique impacts on its transportation system.

The southern boundary of Jasper and Putnam Counties are in the Oconee National Forest and much of this area is woodlands. Rock Eagle and Rock Hawk are quartz boulder mounds created by early Indians located in Putnam County.

Putnam County claims the title of "Dairy Capitol of Georgia". The unique transportation needs of this market sector were considered when assessing the transportation system.

The study area borders three large lakes Lake Jackson, Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair. Each County has a portion of at least one of these lakes. These lakes have contributed to the recent population and employment growth in the area and represent a large "second home" population for Metro Atlanta residents.

The 4-County Region is part of two Regional Development Centers (RDC's). Greene, Jasper and Morgan County are part of the Northeast Georgia RDC (NEGRDC) and Putnam County is part of the Middle Georgia RDC (MGRDC). The study area is displayed in Figure 1.2.

2.1 Future Population
The 4-County Region has received a moderate amount of growth over the past 20 years (47%). This growth trend is expected to continue or accelerate as the area continues to attract people and business owners who enjoy a rural lifestyle while having good access to nearby amenities in the Atlanta, Macon, and Athens urban areas. Recently, several developments of regional impact (DRI) studies have been completed throughout the 4County Region. A majority of these DRIs are located in Greene and Morgan County. Table 2.1 displays the projected growth for each of the four Counties through the horizon year of 2030.

5.0 Improvement Recommendations

Based on the analysis completed as part of this study, a listing of recommended projects was created for each of the Counties in the study area. This listing includes:

Capacity Improvements and New Roadways; Minor Roadway Widening (increasing travel lane widths and/or shoulders); Intersection and Geometric Improvements; Bridge Improvements; Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements; Airport Improvements; Rail Improvements; and, Transit Improvements.

For each recommendation several informational elements were produced including: facility; limits; existing and improved configuration; comments; source; improvement type; need; anticipated benefit; phasing; cost and potential funding sources. For successful implementation of these projects it is recommended that additional detailed engineering studies be conducted to determine the most appropriate design, cost and phasing of the particular project. Additionally, successful project implementation will require identified funding mechanisms, political support, and public recognition of the project need and benefit.

This information is presented in Tables 5.1 5.4 and Figure 5.1 - 5.2.

7.0 Conclusions

Growth in Greene, Jasper, Morgan, and Putnam Counties has resulted in increased travel demand through the 4-County Region. GDOT Office of Planning, in conjunction with these four Counties, initiated the East Georgia Multi-County Transportation Study to develop a LRTP to serve the 4-County Region through the planning horizon, 2030. Recommended projects were identified and selected according to all applicable rules and regulations with the intent of enhancing the quality of life for County residents and visitors. Efforts were taken to ensure that proposed projects impacted the community as little as possible while providing maximum benefits. Analysis was conducted to ensure that the projects benefited and did not disproportionately impact low-income and minority communities. Ultimately, the study identified multi-modal improvements and prioritized project implementation in the form of a Long Range Transportation Plan.

HNTB coordinated with GDOT, Greene, Jasper, Morgan, and Putnam Counties, local cities, citizens, and other partners in the planning, development, review, and approval of potential improvements. Additionally, a comprehensive and interactive public involvement program was conducted. This ensured that alternative transportation improvements were not only coordinated with various governments, but afforded individual citizens and interested groups the opportunity to provide their input in developing and evaluating potential improvements to each County's transportation network.

The end product for this study was a LRTP that provided for the efficient movement of people and goods within and through the 4-County Region through the horizon year of this study, 2030. Interim year analysis was conducted for the year 2015. As part of this effort existing and future operating conditions were documented for the following modes: highways and bridges, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, freight, transit, railways and airports.
