Attendees included Valdosta Mayor John Fretti, members of the Valdosta City Council and Lowndes County Board of Commissioners, Remerton Mayor Cornelius Holsendolph, and others enthusiastic about supporting greater mobility in the Lowndes-Valdosta metropolitan area. Participants engaged in table top activities to help planners map out potential routes and find out which aspects of public transit are most important to those who will be using the system.

“It is time for transit in Valdosta, and we encourage our citizens to share their valuable input at these public involvement meetings and be a part of this exciting development in our area,” Fretti said.
