Issue Position: On Public Transport

Issue Position

As the population in Georgia, and specifically the metropolitan Atlanta area continues to grow we must address the needs of Georgians outside of the perimeter to have options for transportation. Many people in Gwinnett County (and other counties outside of Fulton and Dekalb) do not have reliable public transportation, and must travel 30+ minutes to the nearest train station. The availability of public transportation is cited as one of the reasons businesses choose their location. Expanding public transit will not only allow more ease in navigating in and around the city, but could also spur job growth, boosting Georgia's economy.
