Introduction
The SR 54 corridor is a major mobility corridor for Clayton County and provides access for Clayton County communities and residents of nearby counties to the Atlanta region. The proposed BRT project addresses the travel demands in a study area generally extending south from East Point MARTA Rail Station in the city of East Point in Fulton County, GA to the city of Lovejoy in Clayton County, GA.

Transit Signal Priority (TSP) technology would be implemented throughout the alignment.
