ATTEND TRANSIT LOBBY DAY on Monday, March 17th and TAKE ACTION for better

You can take action on this alert by reading the information below and following the directions at the bottom.

Issue

Population growth and the suburban housing boom have led to an increase in commuters and the cost and length of their commutes. The only way we can provide permanent congestion relief is by proving real transit options like Macon-Atlanta-Athens rail
