Voters in Cobb and Gwinnett counties have rejected ballot measures to expand public transportation. 

Both referendums proposed a 1% sales tax that would have been used to fund public transportation improvements in the counties. 

The ballot measures were among several local measures in metro Atlanta that were decided by voters. Three statewide measures were also decided in the 2024 election.
