Transportation Planning

The Division of Transportation Planning performs an array of transportation planning activities for the City of Chattanooga in addition to activities of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency (RPA) as staff to the federally mandated Chattanooga-Hamilton County/North Georgia Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Those activities can be found on the RPA’s website. 

The City of Chattanooga transportation network accommodates all modes to serve all people. Staff continuously work to improve this system as the community and neighborhoods continue to grow and travel patterns change. As a newly established Division, Transportation Planning staff will develop and maintain adopted policy documents to ensure a safe and systematic multimodal network of streets and paths. This network is supported by the MPO’s Regional Transportation Plan.  Streets function as the primary public right-of-way to move people most efficiently from point A to point B and may accommodate all travel modes such as foot, bike, scooter, assisted mobility device, mass transit, or automobile.
