Atlanta Braves Stadium TDM Service<\/strong>
Cobb County Department of Transportation (CCDOT)
Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, the Atlanta Braves announced that they would be building and moving to a new sports and entertainment facility at the intersection of I-75 and I-285, one of metropolitan Atlanta\u2019s most congested and fastest growing employment and residential centers. This announcement, coupled with planned road construction, raised concerns over the potential traffic congestion impacts in the area. The CCDOT engaged AECOM to strengthen the region\u2019s existing travel demand management services by providing 15 months of proactive, in-depth Travel Demand Management (TDM) services, including educational outreach to employers, commuters and stakeholders in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
