MARTOC REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2019 August 31, 2019 MARTOC REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2019 August 31, 2019 The Honorable Deborah Silcox Chair, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Overview Committee 614-A Coverdell Legislative Office Building Atlanta, GA 30334 Dear Chair Silcox: 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 2019 Fiscal Year, which covers the period from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. MARTA maintained its positive trajectory in FY 2019, completing a 7th consecutive year with a balanced budget while adding to our reserve fund. In addition, the Authority has made significant progress, in partnership with the Atlanta City Council, the Atlanta Mayor's office and other city-wide stakeholders to advance project phasing for the new revenue generated by the City's half-penny tax increase affirmed in November of 2016. The recently adopted MART A FY2020 budget, as with last year's, contains no fare increases for our customers - this for the 8th consecutive year - and maintains service levels on both bus and rail. The FY2020 budget also concentrates effort around major capital projects that include new rail car procurement, new bus procurement, tunnel ventilation, escalator rehabilitation and major track renovations, among others. The long-term maintenance and safety of the system remains of paramount importance to the Authority. As required by the MARTA Act, verified copies of this report will be filed with MARTOC, the presiding officers of the State Senate and State House of Representatives, and the State Auditor, as well as the governing authorities of each county and the largest municipality in the area served by MARTA. The report will be properly advertised, will be available at MARTA's principal office for public inspection, and will be posted on the Authority's website. As Chair of the Board and General Manager/Chief Executive Officer of MARTA , we verify the contents of this report to be as accurate and complete as reasonably possible and in compliance with our understanding of the requirements of the above-mentioned legislation. We have made every attempt to provide comprehensive information within this document.

    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.
