Transit Advocates in Clayton Make Push to Join MARTA

Following the resounding defeat of metro Atlanta’s T-SPLOST, transit advocates are setting their sights on a new goal – Clayton County joining MARTA.

At a county commission meeting last night, a handful of supporters urged commissioners to put the issue before voters in November.

They showed up wearing buttons reading “Bring back the buses,” referring to C-Tran, which county commissioners in 2010 voted to shut down due to budget issues.
