Streetcars will roll in downtown Atlanta during the day in the coming weeks as drivers train to operate the cars along the system's 2.7-mile loop. The route stretches from Centennial Olympic Park to the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site. Twelve stops are planned.
We’re excited to announce that our PCM tenants and residents now have access to shuttles, which will make the trek to and from the North Avenue MARTA station a little easier.
I wonder if that photo means they will allow dogs on their shuttle? Not to be frivolous, but as a major canine fan I would love to enhance our options for taking our pups along.
I am very surprised by that. One would think from looking at those charts that there would be more of a push to expand transit in the suburban counties.
Didn't go to the opening, but thinking about taking my kid to ride it tomorrow. Pretty stoked. Short initial line, but hoping even half of that map can come to fruition.
While doing away with the 50/50 requirement was the key provision in legislation the state House of Representatives passed early last month, the Senate Transportation Committee added a surprise amendment that would let MARTA ask voters in the areas it serves to increase the sales tax from the current cap of 1 percent to 1.5 percent.
A big majority of likely voters in Gwinnett County want MARTA extended into the county and are willing to pay for it, according to a new survey from the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce.
The survey found 63 percent of likely voters support expanding MARTA into Gwinnett, with the strongest support coming from the southern portion of the county -- District Two (70 percent favor) and District Three (65 percent favor).
And the majority of likely voters in Gwinnett support a 1 percent sales tax to fund the expansion.
