MARTOC REPort FISCAL YEAR 2018 August 31, 2018 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 2018 Fiscal Year, which covers the period from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. MARTA continues our positive momentum in FY2018, completing a 61h consecutive year with a balanced budget while adding to our reserve fund. In addition, the Authority has worked hard with the Atlanta Mayor's office, Atlanta City Council, and other city-wide stakeholders to advance project prioritization for the new revenue generated by the City's half-penny tax increase approved in November of 2016. During the 2018 Session of the Georgia General Assembly, MARTA continued to educate legislators across the state about the importance of transit to the region's continued economic vitality. MARTA was a key partner in the adoption of H.B. 930 and its creation of The ATL. As the largest transit provider in the region, MARTA looks forward to working closely with this new regional transit authority and leveraging the opportunities now available. The thoughtful deliberation of the bill resulted in two key provisions specific to MARTA: 1) the Authority preserves autonomy in its existing footprint and 2) the Authority maintains its independence in pursuing federal funding for MARTA expansion projects. These provisions allow MARTA to continue expanding and improving service in the jurisdictions it has served for more than 40 years while partnering with The ATL to improve service throughout the region. Additionally, H.B. 930 also provided options for expanding the existing system beyond its current four jurisdictions. As of the transmittal of this letter, Gwinnett County has approved a contract with MARTA and has called for a voter referendum in March 2019. MARTA has also agreed to work with Fulton County on expanding high-capacity options north of its current rail terminus at North Springs Station. Per our agreement, should Fulton County successfully raise additional funds for bus rapid-transit infrastructure along the GA- 400 N corridor, MARTA will operate and maintain such a system out of the existing one penny sales tax already collected in Fulton County. Per H.B. 930, Fulton County has a referendum option that could raise up to an additional twenty per cent of a penny to fund the required capital costs. Finally, MARTA successfully preserved its collection of tax revenue on the sale of motor vehicles by correcting an unintended consequence of an earlier amendment to H.B. 329 (formerly H.B. 327). The final version of the bill passed on the eve of Sine Die with that revenue stream intact. The recently adopted MARTA FY2019 budget, as with last year's, contains no fare increases for our customers - this for the 5th consecutive year - and continues increased service levels on both bus and rail. The FY2019 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. It 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.
