The GRTA Board of Directors is comprised of 15 members from among the ranks of private and public sector leaders throughout metro Atlanta, all of whom are chosen by the Governor of Georgia.
A core function of the GRTA Board is to serve in an advisory capacity to the State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA), who is responsible for the management and operations of the Xpress Commuter Coach Service. In this role the GRTA Board receives and evaluates public comment related to Xpress as required by SRTA’s Title VI Program and as otherwise required by federal regulation, as well as to provide transit-related recommendations to SRTA at the request of the SRTA Board. Recommendations include proposed major service changes, proposed fare changes, or any other transit matter as requested by the SRTA Board.
The members of the GRTA Board also serve as the Governor’s Development Council (GDC), a separate entity with a statewide purview whose work is supported by SRTA staff. The purpose of the GDC is to assist and advise the Governor on the state’s economic development and planning activities. This role includes coordinating the efforts of other state agencies and performing tasks designed to address specific areas of importance to the state’s overall economic success.
