Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced at a press conference this morning Renew Atlanta general manager Josh Rowan will now serve as commissioner of the city’s new department of transportation.

The new DOT will absorb the city’s Office of Mobility Planning and the Renew Atlanta Infrastructure Bond program, as well as all other transportation-related operations of the departments of Planning and Public Works, Bottoms said.

The mayor also unveiled the One Atlanta Strategic Transportation Plan, which lays out a three-year framework to reach Vision Zero—the goal of having zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries—by way of more than $200 million of mobility infrastructure projects.
