Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport will see the pilot of a new automated transit network of personal rapid transit pods from California-based company Glydways

The pods are a result of a 2019 feasibility study conducted by ATL Airport Community Improvement Districts (AACIDs), which uses private taxes from businesses within the district to improve public services and facilities. The study found several areas south of the metro where there were transit and connectivity gaps.
