MARTA Considers Drastic Measures To Balance Budget
Decatur Metro | January 6, 2009
The AJC reports that MARTA’s financial situation is even worse than originally thought.
With a majority of funding coming from the penny sales tax in Fulton and DeKalb, and no support from our car-loving state (or Cobb or Gwinnett), our public transit service has to be ultra-creative in how to raise revenue and cut costs by $10 million.
The most impactful options currently on the table include a 25 cent fare increase and reducing (or even eliminating) weekend service.
Find out all about it tomorrow, Wednesday January 7th. MARTA is holding a public meeting on the budget at the Decatur Library from 6-9p.
