Tuesday Conversation: Transportation

Once plagued by shortfalls and lousy service, MARTA has been on the rebound for a few years, coinciding with the release of an eye-opening audit and the hiring of a savvy CEO. Today, a board member writes about MARTA’s continuing efforts to enhance its finances and regain public trust, especially with proposed expansion on the radar. Als0, the Georgia DOT writes about its 511 emergency operation and summer travel preparation. Off the main transportation topic, a sponsor of the bill that legalized fireworks suggests that, after the recent Fourth of July holiday, some changes are needed.
