New Propel ATL survey calls for more equitable and reliable bus transit
Propel ATL has released its “Voices from the Bus: MARTA Riders Speak Out” report. Jeremiah Jones, an advocacy manager at Propel ATL, explained how the data can be used to drive MARTA’s operational and strategic decision-making.
Thread: October looks like it will be very busy with lots of transit and transit-related events from many organizations! You can get details for each event from their respective organizers on our public calendar at https://www.martaarmy.org/transit-events where events are added or updated constantly.
PropelATL released their road safety report, "The Human Cost of Mobility" for Fulton, DeKalb, and Clayton counties. Too many victims still, most in the poorer neighborhoods.

Shaun (he/ him)Is there an #Atlanta focused #transit group that’s pushing for more transit? I’m thinking of something similar to how #PropelATL does for biking
pete rorabaugh#atlanta #cyclists and #transit riders: please do what you can to lean into #propelatl's efforts to alter marta's plans to close the 5 points station for four years .. go to the rally at 5 points today and/or write to marta .. info: https://www.letspropelatl.org/keep5pointsopen-june20-updates?utm_campaign=rally_to_keep_marta_open&utm_medium=email&utm_source=atlbike
Michael HMatt Westmoreland: next Monday, #PropelATL will be assembling a meeting for an ebike rebate program. Atlanta needs to be a part of that. We are in process to implement Moving Atlanta Forward projects: focus on providing progress better than has happened in the past.
We have an opportunity to get $ from Fed govt to get transportation funding - trying to make sure that grant applications from the city are being filed with US DOT.
