About us
The Ray is a proving ground for the evolving ideas and technologies that will transform the transportation infrastructure of the future, and it starts on 18 miles of West Georgia’s I-85, and the land and communities surrounding it. By innovating from the ground up, we’re creating a corridor that reconnects and restores us, paving the way to a safer and more prosperous future for all. Highways are one of the most environmentally damaging and dangerous infrastructure systems in the world, causing 5 million tons of CO2 emissions nationally each year and 35,000 fatalities in 2015 alone. That's why we're starting a movement to make The Ray a net zero highways. Zero deaths. Zero waste. Zero carbon. Zero Impact. It's an ambitious goal, but using The Ray as a living lab for innovative ideas and technologies, we'll set a new standard for roadways across the globe.
