In November 2016, Atlantans voted to significantly expand transportation choices in the city by passing a 0.5% MARTA sales tax increase, and a 0.4% transportation sales tax (TSPLOST).

This will provide long-term, dedicated transit funding for the city. The proposed sales tax is expected to raise $2.5 billion or more over the next 40-year period. Click here to view the potential MARTA expansion projects >>

The City of Atlanta will also likely pursue another half-penny transportation special purpose local option sales tax (TSPLOST) to complement the projects taken on by MARTA. Click here to view the Atlanta City Council approved project list >>

Civic Dinners on Regional Transit
We believe that some of the most meaningful conversations can take place around a dinner table and that channeling that passion and thoughtfulness into the broader conversation about increased transit access is the key to connecting this region. Let’s shape Atlanta’s future together, one meal at a time.
MARTA Menu
What does your ideal transit system look like? Do you want to see the Atlanta streetcar expanded? Are you strictly MARTA? Are you dreaming of the Atlanta Beltine?
