**SUMMARY :**  In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, the FHWA, in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), have jointly prepared a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) for proposed transportation improvements in the I–75 and I–575 corridors.

Background: The previous Alternatives Analysis (AA)/DEIS for the proposed improvements on the I–75 and I–575 corridors was published in May 2007 and three public hearings were held. The proposed alternatives for the DEIS included truck only lanes and a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system with five BRT Stations. Comments from the public, agencies, local businesses and the trucking industry indicated the desire for an approach that does not include truck only lanes or a BRT system and focuses on a more cost effective solution with a smaller footprint and fewer impacts. This SDEIS provides a detailed evaluation of such an approach. The project corridor lies within Cobb and Cherokee Counties,Georgia. This SDEIS includes a reexamination of the purpose and need, alternatives under consideration, travel demand, affected environment, environmental consequences, and mitigation measures as a result of the improvements under consideration. One Build alternative and the No-Build alternative were considered for improvements to the I–75 and I–575 corridors. The FHWA was the lead agency for the preparation of the SDEIS. The FHWA and GDOT invite interested individuals, organizations and Federal, State, and local agencies to comment on the evaluated alternatives and associated social, economic, or environmental impacts related to the alternatives.
