The More MARTA half-penny sales tax was passed in 2016.

According to MARTA’s website, the money was earmarked for transit enhancements and expansion over four decades.

Earlier this month, MARTA released a revised list of priority projects, focusing on nine Tier-1 projects that are expected to be completed by 2028.
