Mayor Kasim Reed, GDOT Commissioner Russell McMurry and Georgia Tech President Dr. G.P. “Bud” Peterson launch the North Avenue Smart Corridor Demonstration Project in a ceremony held at Ponce City Market. The North Avenue Smart Corridor, funded by the Renew Atlanta Infrastructure Bond, is now the most connected corridor in the State of Georgia.

The North Avenue Smart Corridor Demonstration Project deploys the latest technology in adaptive signal systems for a safer, more efficient flow of transit, personal vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians, as well as facilitating improved emergency response by prioritizing fire engines and ambulances traveling through the corridor. The Corridor features Surtrac, an artificial intelligence-based adaptive signal system that has been shown to reduce travel times by 25 percent by eliminating stops and reducing wait times, not by increasing travel speeds. The reduction in stops and delays reduces wear and tear on vehicles and the road, and can reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality.
