Participant jurisdiction and stakeholder involvement were a critical element of the<br />

study. As indicated previously, all of the regional and state transportation partners<br />

were included in the study: MARTA, GRTA, and GDOT. As a state route, coordination<br />

with GDOT was particularly important, and the study team met with GDOT leadership<br />

and staff in July 2007 to present and discuss proposed strategies for the corridor. One‐<br />

on‐one meetings with county Commissioners were conducted. As owner of the<br />

Whitaker Intermodal Terminal, Norfolk Southern was a key stakeholder. The<br />

Intermodal Terminal was the meeting location for the bus tour, and Norfolk Southern<br />

provided a tour of their operations. The summary list of stakeholder and leadership<br />

outreach activities is listed in Table 1‐2. The complete documentation of public<br />

outreach for the corridor study is included in Appendix A.<br />
