Cobb County Commission To Vote On Bus Purchases
The Cobb County Commission is scheduled to vote Tuesday on six buses for a new circulator route in the Cumberland area.
The Cobb County Commission is scheduled to vote Tuesday on whether to buy six buses for a planned transit route.
The so-called “circulator” shuttle would travel between places like Cumberland Mall, the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, and the new Atlanta Braves’ stadium.
Jim Wilgus, deputy director of the Cobb County Department of Transportation, says the county is moving ahead with the plan, even though commissioners haven’t given final approval yet.
“They’ve been presented the routes; we haven’t presented the final stops yet,” he said. “But because buying buses takes … you really have to have a year lead time on. To have these buses in place, we really need to go ahead and select them.”
The route is scheduled to open in February 2017.
