    MARTOC REPORT Fiscal Year 2017 August 31, 2017 The Honorable Tom Taylor Chair, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Overview Committee 614-A Coverdell Legislative Office Building Atlanta, GA 30334 Dear Chairman Taylor: MARTA is pleased to present our annual Report to the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Overview Committee (MARTOC), prepared in accordance with the requirements established by Section 14A and 17G of the MARTA Act. This report contains information pertaining to the 2017 Fiscal Year, which covers the period from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. MARTA maintained its positive track in FY 2017, completing a 5th consecutive year with a balanced budget while adding to our reserve fund. In addition, the City of Atlanta passed a referendum authorizing a half-penny increase in the MARTA sales and use tax collected within the city limits. The measure passed with more than 70% of the vote. This new revenue will be used for the purpose of significantly expanding and enhancing MARTA transit service in Atlanta. MARTA once again enjoyed positive momentum during the 2017 Session of the Georgia General Assembly. MARTA also made further inroads with legislators at all levels across the state to increase support for public transit. Of primary achievement, MARTA was able to refine its process for reviewing proposals for concessions throughout our system via H.B. 506. This bill converted what had long been an invitation to bid (IFB) process to a Request for Proposal (RFP) process, thereby giving the Authority the ability to consider criteria beyond only the highest revenue projections from interested parties. We expect this change to contribute significantly to the expansion of future concession services MARTA offers to our patrons across the entire system.
