The city of Atlanta is seeking input on its MARTA Sales Tax Referendum through a survey. The questions are intended to guide the discussion about the allocation of funds.

The city said the additional one-half percent sales tax for 35 years will raise $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion for transit within Atlanta.

Included in the survey is a list of projects that could be implemented with the funds. The city wants residents to rate the projects according to the survey directions and to describe other projects it should consider.
