Case Study: Atlanta Regional Commission engages over 18,000 citizens online with MetroQuest

Atlanta Engages Over 18,000 Citizens Online

Atlanta Regional Commission needed a way to engage residents in a long-range comprehensive planning process that most people would otherwise ignore. Working with MetroQuest, the agency used a fun, visual online engagement approach to make participation more accessible and appealing.

MetroQuest helped Atlanta Regional Commission run online surveys that spread widely through social media and drew attention from local news and bloggers, supported by targeted in-person “boots on the ground” events to broaden representation. The effort engaged 18,268 people and collected 138,018 data points, giving the agency strong public confidence and helping persuade elected officials to approve the plan.
