ATL Board

LIVE STREAM MEETING - N/A

The ATL is governed by a 16-member board comprised of metro Atlanta business leaders and government officials.

Board of Directors

Our board includes 10 members from across the 13-county region representing the newly created transit districts. These members were chosen by caucuses of county commission chairs, local legislative delegations and mayors. The lieutenant governor and speaker of the House each appoint two members while the board’s chair is appointed by the governor. The vice-chair is selected annually from among the board members. The commissioner of the Georgia Department of Transportation is an ex-officio, non-voting member of the board.
