Metro Atlanta Transit Could Be Among Winners If $1 Trillion Infrastructure Bill Can Pass

The $1.2 trillion, bi-partisan infrastructure bill introduced in the U.S. Senate Sunday night could mean more federal transit dollars for metro Atlanta.

Negotiations among senators lasted through the weekend before the 2,700-page bill was rolled out Sunday night.

MARTA chief executive Jeffrey Parker says a potential huge win for metro Atlanta is a proposed increase the upper limit for federal transit grants known as Small Starts – from $300 million to $400 million.
