Vote Yes to Get Gwinnett Moving

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

Issue

On Tuesday, July 15th, Republican and Democratic voters have a chance to show their support for expanding MARTA into Gwinnett County on the primary election ballot. Your Yes vote could help determine the future of transportation in the region.

Background

Too often, Gwinnett County commuters find themselves stuck in traffic missing out quality time with family and friends. You can help make a difference by voting Yes and urging Gwinnett County to join MARTA.

In order to join MARTA, Gwinnett County must pass a ballot referendum implementing a penny sales tax. The straw poll on the Republican and Democratic primary ballots will help build political will necessary for such an initiative.

Strong support for extending MARTA in the primary elections will send a signal to the county leadership to include a binding resolution on this issue on the general election ballot in November. It also tells other regional decision-makers that metro Atlanta is ready to get out of gridlock and embrace a mass transit transportation system.
