Want to know why Cobb and Gwinnett lost their transit referendums?
In the Metro Atlanta Speaks survey, over 90% say that improved public transit is important for metro Atlanta.
Only 44% are willing to pay more taxes to fund it...
🤔🤦♂️
It’s no secret that the MSPLOST voting results were a huge disappointment, but it came as no surprise.
It’s hard to get an electorate to support a long-term tax increase for a service very few use in such a short time frame.
Our work continues. Transit will continue to expand.
Cobb County Chairwoman Lisa Cupid on why the MSPLOST is so important for the county.
It’s great having someone in charge of the county that is so supportive of transit!

The new microtransit pilot launched in Cobb County yesterday!
We rode it a few times and a $2.50 trip replaced what would have been a $20 trip on Uber.
This could be gamechanging for suburban transit:
1. Connects riders to fixed transit routes
2. Door to door transit rides
We can’t make this because we will be attending the County Commission meeting tonight, but YOU should go!
Join us tomorrow evening for the Let's Talk Transit social! Enjoy a drink, a bit of food and meet with fellow transit advocates in the heart of Downtown Atlanta!

Cobb County voters are being sent a lot of mailers and text with misinformation about MSPLOST.
It’s important that you speak to your neighbors and colleagues and tell them why you support more transit!
Can the suburbs be fixed? YOU BET!

Thanks to @mstigall and Sam Foster from @BetterCobb @Cobb4Transit for the interview!
Just think about how far $11 billion could go in building a regional rail network.
It’s so frustrating seeing GDOT continue to spend billions on roads while neglecting transit.

Our only solution as Cobb County continues to grow is to build infrastructure that takes cars off the road.
Regional BRT for longer trips/commutes
Local buses that connect every Cobb City
Microtransit and bike lanes for neighborhood-level trips
Let’s make it happen!
Today is the first day in most of our lives that expanded transit is on the ballot in Cobb County.
MSPLOST is the final question on the ballot and if it passes, will fund expanded transit services in Cobb County for the next 30 years.
Let’s do this, Cobb! #TransitAtLast
