Transit Forum

TRANSIT FORUM

ACEC Georgia and the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) have a formal written partnering agreement known as the Georgia Partnership for Transit Excellence (GPTE). The work of the GPTE Partnership is done under the auspices of the ACEC Georgia Transit Forum and its committees and subcommittees.

Employees of ACEC Georgia member firms and supporting members who are involved in the transit space are encouraged to serve on one of the subcommittees under the Georgia Partnership for Transit Excellence (GPTE) Consultant Relations Committee (CRC).

For more information, contact Michael “Sully” Sullivan at sully@acecga.org.
