Rockdale County seeks public input on future transit needs

ROCKDALE COUNTY, GA– Rockdale County government is inviting the public to provide input on the future of Rockdale Transportation by participating in the upcoming Transit Development Plan (TDP). The TDP will identify transit needs and opportunities for the county to inform the public of its future transit system investments.
