The Northeast Georgia Regional Commission (NEGRC) received an award in 2014 from the National Association of Development Organizations (NADO) for excellence in regional transportation for its bicycle and pedestrian planning program. The NEGRC serves a 12-county area and works with local governments on projects like Project Road Share, which identifies bike routes, and the Firefly Trail, a planned 39-mile multi-use trail. The NEGRC also organizes the annual Georgia Trail Summit conference and provides technical assistance and planning to support active transportation in the region.
