Last week the Georgia Transit Association (GTA), which represents transit operators from around the state of Georgia and companies that supply them, held its annual legislative breakfast. They released their 2011 legislative agenda and honored Representative Roberta Abdul-Salaam (Clayton and Fayette) for her work on transit in Clayton and passing the motor vehicle tax exemption for transit agencies.
Also last week, the Livable Communities Coalition held a stakeholder meeting for their Transit Campaign. Panels discussed the challenges of prioritizing transit projects, especially given the limitations of HB 277, and the politics of passing the referendum. It was agreed that more needs to be done to create a priority list of transit projects to be included in the project list for the regional referendum.
Coming up this week:
Regional Transit Committee of the Atlanta Regional Commission meeting
Thursday, February 10th at 1:30pm
