Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP)

Study Overview

In 2018, the Clayton County Department of Transportation and Development updated its Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). Clayton County’s 2008 CTP, Connecting Clayton, served as the basis for this effort.

The CTP Update serves as a roadmap for how Clayton County would like to see its transportation networks develop to serve their current and future needs. The plan considers:

• Roadways and bridges
• Bicycle and pedestrian facilities
• Freight facilities and movement
• Transit and connections to transit stops
• Impacts from the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (HJAIA)
