METROPOLITAN ATLANTA RAPID AUTHORITY
SERVICE MODIFICATIONS – Effective August 15, 2009
This has been a very difficult year for MARTA. We thank the many people including our customers, stakeholders, employees, regional partners and the general public for the support they have given us throughout this process. Unfortunately, MARTA and public transportation agencies across our state still face monumental financial challenges. We will need your continued support as we work to identify and secure additional permanent, long-term sources of funding. MARTA avoided having to make further service cuts through the implementation of significant internal cost containment measures and funding made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Unless the President and Congress decide differently, we will not have those funds available to us in the future. This is not just a MARTA issue. We need everyone to make an urgent call for state, regional and local leadership to focus on this critical issue or MARTA, as we know it, will not survive.
