Transportation Talk with Atlanta Region Transit Link Authority

ATLtransit Interim Executive Director Chris Tomlinson responds to transit Q’s on ‘Atlanta Business Chronicle’s BIZ’

Metro Atlanta has a new agency that’s supposed to make transit smoother.

A new metro Atlanta transit agency is starting work, with the heavy job of networking regional buses and the train into a more reliable and practical system.

Atlanta’s mayor to be Cobb’s final transit board representative

Following caucuses held in Atlanta last week, all 16 board members who will serve on the Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority board have now been selected, including the three who will represent transit districts that include Cobb.

The ATL fills out 16-member board

Metro Atlanta’s new regional transit governing agency has filled out its 16-member board from a roster of local elected officials and business leaders.

Going Places

Metro Atlanta transit is now rapidly evolving. You could call it the Amazon Effect, but it’s more accurate to dub it the Mercedes Movement. Or the State Farm Solution. Or the Pulte Homes Preference.

Mass transit gets a boost, but local officials seek options, control

Mass transit has had a banner year in Georgia after decades of resistance. The state legislature approved a new regional transit authority encouraging possible MARTA expansion in such longtime holdouts as Gwinnett County, and Gov. Nathan Deal announced $100 million in bond funding for bus rapid transit on Ga. 400.

Gwinnett’s Charlotte Nash on MARTA: ‘We are ready to roll’

By any measure, Charlotte Nash is a poster child of Gwinnett County.

She has lived her entire 65 years in Gwinnett, one of the few among the county’s 920,260 residents as of a year ago. When she was born, Gwinnett had fewer than 40,000 residents.

“The ATL” transit board members are elected.

The new Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority, or “The ATL,” has a full board ready to start work next month following the election of 10 members.
