Vote Yes for Transportation This November

Don’t let the presidential race override your decision to vote this November, as two infrastructure referenda are on our ballot.

The TSPLOST referendum could generate $300 million to fund multi-use trails, increased capacity on roadways and an extended Atlanta BeltLine through a 0.4% sales tax. MARTA’s half-penny sales tax could generate $2.5 billion for transit, allowing MARTA to make major transit investments, including high-capacity rail improvements, bus network upgrades, and streetcar expansion to the BeltLine and new MARTA stations.

These referenda could improve every Atlanta resident’s quality of life – whether you live ITP or OTP.
