ATLANTA (AP) — The Census Bureau plans to kick off its Atlanta Regional Road Tour to increase awareness of the 2010 count.

The civic outreach and awareness campaign starts Monday at the Five Points MARTA station in downtown Atlanta. With stops planned in Georgia, Florida and Alabama, it is one of 13 regional road tours being held across the country to raise the profile of the census.

Census workers will be at the station from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. with their road tour vehicle, which aims to educate the public through interactive exercises.

Census officials will also be on hand in Stone Mountain at 10 a.m. Monday to host an open house celebrating the opening of the DeKalb Local Census Office.
