Today, MARTA gained the support it has been desperately fighting to get in order to extend the penny tax beyond 2032. Atlanta's City Council and, as of today, the DeKalb County Commission have signed off on the tax extension which will fund MARTA through 2047, allowing MARTA to borrow against the future money and start up on new ambitious capital projects which they've been holding off on while rebuilding and renovating during a financial slump earlier this decade.
MARTA, now doing much better financially than in recent years, has started to change their language during meetings and the general focus now it seems will once again be on capital projects, with Bus Rapid Transit on I-20, the Beltline, and a new line from Lindbergh Station (MARTA HQ) to the Emory area.
