Fulton County will study expanding public transit, hopes others follow
Fulton County leaders decided Thursday that they don’t want to wait for Cobb or Gwinnett counties to create a transit plan before they start on their own.
They agreed to fund a study that could lead to a plan to expand public transportation.
“Somebody’s got to take the first step,” Roswell Mayor Jere Wood said.
Fulton County Commissioner Lee Morris said he thought Fulton needed to take the lead if it wanted to see improvements.
“If we do wait on these other counties, we’ll never get anywhere,” he said. “I wish to heck the whole region would embrace this in a collective way, but I don’t want to wait for them.”
