The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) creates, acquires and enhances a significant amount of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data for our regional planning efforts. ARC makes many of these GIS datasets available to local governments, planning partners, consultants and the general public for use in their own GIS systems. Those without a GIS can still take advantage of our data through digital maps and interactive GIS mapping. In addition to our regional data, we also work with local data from our constituent counties and municipalities and statewide data from our various planning partners.
Regional GIS Data
The ARC publishes the Atlanta Region Information System (ARIS) GIS data available for download, in Zip file format below. If you have questions regarding GIS data, please contact us at 404.463.3100. (Please note: ARC publshes all GIS data in either ESRI Shapefile or Geodatabase formats.)

Local Data
ARC works closely with our constituent county and municipal governments for planning and data development. Although ARC has acquired a large amount of local data such as streets, landuse and parcels, this data is not available without written approval from our local governments. The best way to learn about and acquire local GIS data is to contact the particular county or municipality of interest.
State Data
ARC works closely with our state partners for planning and data development. ARC has acquired and produced a large amount of statewide data such as streets, community facilities and historical markers, many of which are available through ARIS. Additional state and federal datasets are available (particularly for counties outside the Atlanta region) at the Georgia GIS Clearinghouse, including wetlands, census data and digital orthophotography (geo-referenced aerial photography).
