State lawmakers are getting ready to unveil plans for a new statewide regional transportation governance board.

Republican state Rep. Kevin Tanner, of Dawsonsville, said he has been talking to MARTA, metro Atlanta elected officials and transit agencies about the proposal for the past few months.

“I think that we will have a regional governance structure, ‘The ATL’ that it could be called,” Tanner said. “And how those operators function underneath we’ll see how that works in the next few weeks.”
