Tuesday Conversation: Transportation

At a recent lunch meeting of Central Perimeter area businesses, the topic was the problem of “single-occupant vehicles,” and how to introduce workers to MARTA or car pools. (Of course, nearly everyone in the packed ballroom arrived alone in their cars.) Today, a business leader tackles that challenge, introducing a new program for employers interested in alternative modes. Also, a State Farm executive explains why the insurance giant is building next to the Dunwoody MARTA station. And a businessman writes about how to to fund improvements beyond the Transportation Funding Act.
