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
A recent Department of Transportation study deemed all 7 potential rail projects feasible. Meanwhile, we sit in traffic. The answer to our transportation problem is clear. The time is right now to invest in better transit for Georgia.
