City of Atlanta × CYVL
Atlanta proved what infrastructure intelligence can do.
Ahead of a global deadline, Atlanta used continuous road data to prioritize downtown improvements, reduce potholes, and raise pavement conditions from fair to good. Now the city is expanding that model across every neighborhood.

The leadership decision
Atlanta acted before the pressure peaked.
Two years before a global deadline, the Atlanta Department of Transportation modernized inspections so engineers could see the current condition of downtown streets, identify the highest-risk corridors, and focus paving work where it would matter most.
The decision created more than a one-time event push. It gave Atlanta a repeatable operating model for using current, citywide infrastructure data before the next budget cycle, major event, or emergency forces the issue.
Courtland Street · repeatable proof
From 53, rated fair, to 89, rated good.
Courtland Street shows why repeat collection matters. Atlanta can measure the same corridor before and after capital work, verify a 36-point improvement, and carry that evidence into the next planning and budget decision.
How Atlanta used the data
A closed loop from condition to measured outcome.
01
Map current conditions
Capture the full network quickly instead of relying on slow samples or complaint-driven snapshots.
02
Identify highest need
Surface high-risk corridors and the streets where limited paving dollars can create the greatest change.
03
Prioritize and execute
Turn current condition data into a defensible order of work for crews, leadership, and the public.
04
Rescan and verify
Measure the same streets again to show what improved and where the next need is emerging.
05
Expand the operating layer
Use the same living ground truth across pavement, sidewalks, curb ramps, signs, lights, and signals.

“We have proven the model. Now it’s time to use this as a legacy example for what’s possible ahead.”

Not another pavement report. A living operational data layer for the whole city.
Atlanta is expanding the same continuous approach across roads, sidewalks, curb ramps, street signs, lights, signals, guardrails, and other right-of-way assets — one current picture for planning, maintenance, and budgeting.
Questions cities ask
Atlanta’s model, made concrete.
How did Atlanta reduce downtown potholes?
ATLDOT used continuous road-condition data to identify high-need corridors and prioritize repairs. WSB-TV and FOX 5 Atlanta reported 60% fewer downtown potholes than in 2024.
How did Atlanta measure pavement improvement?
Atlanta compared repeat assessments on a 100-point pavement-condition scale. Downtown moved from 63.5, rated fair, to 75.3, rated good. Courtland Street moved from 53 to 89.
What infrastructure does Atlanta monitor with CYVL?
The citywide expansion covers roads, sidewalks, curb ramps, street signs, and additional right-of-way assets visible in CYVL’s infrastructure intelligence platform.
Can other cities use Atlanta’s model?
Yes. CYVL’s sensors mount on existing fleet vehicles, giving agencies a repeatable way to collect current conditions, prioritize work, and rescan to verify outcomes without a capital-heavy vehicle purchase.
