Local Centerline Mileage
• In January 2011, GDOT Commissioner Vance Smith sent a letter to all of Georgia’s Elected Officials– 159 Counties– 531 Municipalities
• We requested the they report the total local public road centerline mileage (Paved or Unpaved)
Why Are We Doing This Now?
• This information is needed to comply with State and Federal Law
• LMIG funds will be distributed to Local Governments based on paved and unpaved centerline miles and population
• TIA also requires an accurate accounting of centerline miles to calculate funding for each Regional Commission
What Was The Result?
• As of May 3rd, we received reports from – 152 Counties (96%)– 325 Cities (61%)
• We provide the mileage to Local Grants Office– If local government reported, we provided that
mileage– If local government did not report, we provided
our recoded mileage
How Can You Help?
• Confirm that your local government has reported its Center Line Mileage to GDOT on the official Reporting Form
• As a Local Government, you are required within 90 days to inform GDOT when you have:– Acquired / Accepted / Abandoned a road– State Code 32-4-41 and 32-4-91

Project Goals
• Develop a complete statewide public road centerline
• Keep the centerline Up-To-Date• Ensure accurate Local Government mileage• Ensure efficient statewide road inventory• Build relationships with Local Agencies • Help foster a cooperative environment
Centerline Data Issues
• Roads Extending Beyond or Stopping Short of County Boundary
• Topological Errors (Overlapping & Intersecting Road Segments, Dangles)
• Conflation Process Errors• Out-of-Date Centerlines• Bad Centerline Geometry• Inaccurate Attribution• Erroneously Coded Roads• Unresolved “Public” and “Unknown” Roads

Urban and Rural Classification
After each decennial census, the Census Bureau identifies and classifies urban and rural areas.
The Census Bureau identifies urban and rural areas solely for the purpose of tabulating and presenting statistical data.
1906 - Urban areas of at least 2,500 people 1950 - Urbanized areas of 50,000 or more people 2000
Urban places of at least 2,500 people were identified outside urbanized areas.
Urban clusters of 2,500 - 49,999 were defined

2000 Atlanta Federal-Aid Urban Area Boundary
• FHWA "adjusted" or "smoothed" Urbanized Areas and Small Urban Areas that are used for transportation planning purposes
• Expands Census boundary to define boundaries to better reflect local conditions.
