Metro Atlanta, Georgia

Turning plans into measurable progress

Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC)

For the ARC, implementation began with measurement. The agency needed to turn regional plans into something communities could track and act on.

PIN Interns, Palak Mor and John Yilu, created standardized workflows and 22 implementation metrics across eight sectors, covering 180 local governments and supporting two regional plans. They documented the process so ARC staff or future interns could continue updating the metrics.
