here’s a colorful job opportunity in georgia : an animation company is expecting to employ about 100 people at its new studio by the end of the year .
“we really see atlanta as a great place to engage the talent in georgia , ” said scott greenberg , the company’s co - founder . “we’ll be a part of the community , and we intend to do a lot more work down there . ”
the development is a spillover effect of the growth of georgia’s production industry . as spending on tv and film production in the state has more than quadrupled over the past four years , animation studios are being drawn to atlanta for its proximity to behemoths such as turner broadcasting and access to a trained workforce .
“atlanta is becoming a hub for this type of work , ” said asante bradford , a project manager with the state economic development department who helped land the expansion . he said a range of similar deals are on the drawing board .
“it’s exciting . after four or five years of advertising , they’re calling me now , ” bradford said of animation studios and other potential suitors .
exact industry numbers are hard to come by , but analysts and industry officials say there are at least 700 animators who work in georgia employed in jobs that typically pay about $ 60 , 000 .
floyd county productions , the creator of fx’s “archer” series , has about 100 employees based in offices near the virginia - highland neighborhood . and stargate studios , a special effects company , recently expanded to metro atlanta for work on amc’s popular zombie drama “the walking dead . ”
and , of course , there’s cartoon network , turner broadcasting’s 24 - hour animation station , which is celebrating its 20th birthday monday . from rather humble beginnings , the network now reaches an audience of more than 360 million homes worldwide .
greenberg said the work for these two programs would have otherwise been bid out to korea , china or another international locale . but he was convinced atlanta is a better alternative , thanks in part to its vibrant arts community .
“instead of putting work overseas , we’re keeping it here , ” he said . “we had to wait for the right time for us , the right project . and this is it . ”
when she isn’t a “girl on fire , ” alicia keys is a digital girl , launching her own animated app this week called the journals of mama mae and leelee .
her brand - new animated app for children features the relationship between a grandmother ( based on alicia’s own grandmother ) and her granddaughter ( based on the singer ) . granddaughter leelee’s bedroom is the focus of the app , where users can “sit” at her desk to journal , draw , and play the virtual piano . the app features an original song by alicia called “follow the moon . ”
“the amazing part of this is it’s completely inter - generational , ” the grammy - winning singer told the hollywood reporter . “it’s about a daughter and her grandmother . it’s something that a mother and child can experience together , siblings can experience together , something that a grandmother and a grandchild can experience together . my mother and ( 2 - year - old son ) egypt would definitely go through the story and play the games … and write in the journals and draw pictures . ”
the game is dedicated to her late grandmother . “my nana is a # girlonfire and continues to inspire me every day ! ” tweeted alicia . “i’m super excited to have a project coming soon in her memory . ”
the journals of mama mae and leelee will be available to download this thursday at the apple app store for $ 3 . 99 . alicia will also participate in a q & a session at the apple store in soho tomorrow .

chatham county is the fifth largest county in georgia , and proud to be the home of the georgia ports authority better known as the port of savannah . the port is one of the top three busiest ports in the united states . with just under 300 , 000 people living in chatham’s 632 square miles , the county is home to scores of major employers in manufacturing , paper products , chemicals , transportation and other heavy equipment , logistics , healthcare , food products and education with companies such as gulfstream , weyerhaeuser , international paper , and dane trailers .
in 1989 , the american public transportation association ( apta ) presented cat with the “outstanding public transportation achievement award” for small transit systems . this award acknowledged cat as the best transit system in its size category in north america . also during 1989 , cat installed 31 new bus shelters and over 90 new passenger benches . as a result of the bench and shelter program , cat received an award from the historic savannah foundation for “enhancing the quality of the historic district . ”
the joe murray rivers jr . intermodal transit center at the greyhound bus station underwent a $ 15 million makeover . now , it ' s cat ' s headquarters and , starting monday , its central bus portal in addition to continued greyhound operations .
in addition , she said , cat ' s shuttles to the city of savannah ' s fourth of july show and the st . patrick ' s day festival provide opportunities for people who don ' t normally use transit to experience it firsthand .
work will begin this year at oglethorpe mall on the first of five super stops . these stops will operate much like a smaller - scale version of a transit center , complete with seating , lighting and information kiosks , in addition to ticket vending .
what to do for evacuation should evacuation be required , cat will continue to run regular routes for as long as possible while also stopping at the staging area ( civic center ) on each trip to accommodate those without their own form of transportation for evacuation . click here to open the cema brochure about taking public transportation , bringing pets , and more .
in 2015 , cat continued efforts to generate interest in full county - wide service , meeting with communities in west chatham county . the first super stop was also completed , bringing new seating , bike racks , an information screen , and a ticket vending machine ( tvm ) to the oglethorpe mall . a major marketing effort took place most of that year preparing customers for the discontinuation of change cards on the bus , lowering pass rates , and offering a brand new half - fare for youths . another tvm was installed at the transit center to give customers 24 - hour access to ticket sales .
in january of 2017 , cat celebrated 30 years of service . later that year , cat again provided free services to chatham county during hurricane irma , transporting over 1 , 900 residents to and from out of town shelters . in may of 2018 cat unveiled the first of 18 new 35 - ft buses being added into its fleet .

historic homes divided into apartments of varying sizes , as well as a few new condo and apartment developments , await you downtown . besides being close to the economic center of savannah , there are also a number of shops , restaurants and bars in the historic district to keep you entertained . prices for two bedrooms in this area range greatly , with smaller places going for $ 700 - 900 and larger homes and newer rentals going for $ 1200 - 1500 .
by summer 2014 , cat welcomed the community to an open house of its newly renovated operations and maintenance facility . boasting a state - of - the - art control center for managing transit operations , a key - less badge entry system , and on - site training facilities , cat central brought much - needed upgrades to the community’s only public transportation agency .
several large cities in the united states , including chicago , new york , los angeles and san francisco , have all implemented bike share programs in the last few years . atlanta , georgia’s busiest metropolitan area , is in the process of developing its own , expected to start in 2016 with close to 600 bicycles at more than 50 stations , according to a report from business insider . the city has already invested $ 2 million in expanding and improving existing bike lanes in anticipation of its opening .
while cat officials in the past have relied on bank loans and lines of credit to pay the bills as they waited for congress to approve their federal funding , the transit organization at the end of last year voted to restructure a $ 7 . 7 million line of credit with wells fargo to a $ 1 . 5 million line of credit with a $ 5 million loan .
i don ' t think most people have an appreciation of the impact either in terms of the size or the scope ,
reese said .
if they ' re riding the transit system . . . they ' re working , they ' re learning or they ' re spending money . when you see our bus , you actually see our economy in motion .
the coming of the twentieth century saw the consolidation of the major local railway properties under the newly created savannah electric company which handled all lighting , power , and transit operations . the savannah electric company constructed amusement parks and casinos at thunderbolt and isle of hope so crowds would have some place to go . the casino at thunderbolt housed comic opera , vaudeville and even moving picture shows .
in addition , vaquer said the legislation intended to change the makeup of the board of directors isn ' t needed . as written , the bill wouldn ' t provide a seat on the board for new cities that might join the transit system . the board operates well as is , he said , and there is no need to expand the membership as jackson ' s bill proposes .
cat operates its transit services without regard to race , color , religion , sex , sexual orientation , national origin , marital status , age or disability in accordance with title vi of the civil rights act of 1964 and its amendments . any person who believes he or she has been subjected to discrimination may have rights and protections under title vi . visit our title vi page to learn more .

in 2016 , cat celebrated some major funding victories , receiving awards totaling more than $ 15 million from the georgia state road and tollway authority’s go ! transit capital program and the u . s . department of transportation’s bus and bus facilities grant program . both grants will be used for replacing aging buses and paratransit vehicles . with the board’s approval in november , a portion of the funds will also be used to purchase new electric buses .
passes , and also books of 10 tickets , are sold at savannah’s transportation hub , the joe murray rivers , jr . intermodal transit center , at 610 west oglethorpe avenue ( three blocks north of the visitor center on martin luther king , jr boulevard , then left onto west oglethorpe . the bus station , which is also used for greyhound coach services , will be on your right ) . hours for ticket sales are monday - friday , 7am - 8pm .
in 2009 , cat received a federal grant to purchase its first eleven hybrid buses . these buses improved fuel consumption , reduced exhaust emissions , and provided a quieter and smoother ride for the transit passengers . each bus was equipped with six on - board cameras and performed on battery power when traveling under 30 miles per hour . the addition of the hybrid buses to the fleet demonstrated cat’s commitment to be a responsible environmental partner in this community . 2009 also ushered the beginning of cat’s new brand and progressive movement into the future .
the electric streetcars continued to flourish through the 1920’s and 1930’s but were eventually overtaken by buses going into the 1940’s . in january 1946 , the savannah electric and power company sold its holdings to the savannah transit company ( stc ) . on august 26 , 1946 , the last streetcar operated in savannah . the streetcar on this last trip was driven by motorman luther m . page who had been driving since 1912 . with the dawning of the gasoline - powered city bus , mr . page chose to retire rather than to learn how to drive a bus .
cat has a major impact on the local economy by carrying people to work , to school , to medical appointments , and other activities . as part of the transportation development plan ( tdp ) completed in 2000 , an on - board rider survey was conducted which indicated that 83 % of riders use cat to travel to work or to school ( kindergarten through the university level ) . the collective income of employed riders who used cat to commute was estimated to be $ 122 , 000 , 000 . a second tdp completed in late 2006 yielded route improvement , technology and marketing recommendations as well as results of rider and telephone surveys . cat’s future growth and direction was mapped out for the next five years , and as a result of the community’s input , the future called for different approaches to how we view public transit .

the early streetcars were staffed by a motorman who stood on an open platform . he wore a heavy wool blue coat and trousers year round . there was no heat on board and the motorman stood in a cardboard box with rags wrapped around his feet to stay warm during the colder months . passengers fared no better than the motorman as there was no heat in the streetcars .
in 1951 , the stc had a contest for the design of a new bus token . an azalea design was chosen and 100 , 000 tokens were produced . passengers did not care for these tokens because they could not use a safety pin to secure the tokens on their shirt or jacket . a short time later , the stc ordered the azalea token with a hole punched in the center and passengers were once again happy .
with increased hours of operation , quality customer service , and an outstanding safety record , ridership increased over 32 percent from 1987 to 1990 . revenue increased and cat’s preventive maintenance and other cost - saving programs reduced its operating costs .
cat’s annual ridership rose from 3 . 5 million trips in 1990 to 3 . 6 million in 1993 . new buses replaced those older buses still in the pre - 1987 fleet . four new teleride vans were purchased , increasing the fleet to fourteen .
in 1997 , four 20 - passenger diesel vans were purchased to replace the electric - powered cat shuttle buses as well as to augment service on other routes . with the arrival of these new vans , cat had 32 lift - equipped vehicles in its 65 - bus fleet . of cat’s 20 routes at that time , 15 were served by lift - equipped buses . also in 1997 , cat initiated placement of new bus stop signs along some of its bus routes . these newly styled signs joined the orange bus standards which have been a savannah landmark since the mid - 1940’s .
in 1999 , cat and the city of savannah signed an agreement that allowed cat to operate its downtown cat shuttle serving both residents and visitors fare - free .
the year 2000 marked new demands in flexibility for public transportation . in response to community requests , cat installed bicycle racks on all buses in its fleet . this year also saw the completion of cat’s strategic transportation development plan ( tdp ) . recommendations from the tdp resulted in operations improvements and increased route efficiency .
in 2003 , the arrival of 31 new low floor replacement buses with a voice annunciation system for major stops made cat’s fleet 100 % lift equipped . that same year , cat took over the operation of the savannah belles ferry system with the construction and christening of the juliette gordon low and the susie king taylor , two distinct ferry vessels .
through a contract executed in 2005 with the city of savannah , cat operated the successful liberty st . parking shuttle on weekdays from the liberty parking garage to other municipal parking garages and major downtown destinations .
july 2012 brought the defeat of the t - splost vote , a transportation sales tax initiative designed to fund infrastructure and transportation projects across georgia as a countermeasure to declining federal and state funding . however , cat staff continue to seek alternative funding sources through grants and state legislation efforts .
other major project milestones during that time include collaborating with customers to revamp the paratransit plan and customer handbook to provide clearer guidelines and improve service ; launching the cat freedom program , a wheelchair accessible taxi partnership designed to provide increased independence and cost - saving options to the community ; completing the data - collecting and community input stages of a new tdp in order to shape the next five years of cat’s future ; and progressing on the intelligent transportation system ( its ) project , installing hardware and testing components .
cat also stepped up for the community during hurricane matthew , providing free services before and after the evacuation , and helping to take and return the 4 , 400 people who evacuated .
