MARTA Service Cuts May Impact Emory campus
From Dr. Beverly Scott, GM & CEO of MARTA -
"MARTA is facing major financial challenges for FY 2011 and future years. Given the magnitude of the projected shortfall for the upcoming year and beyond, MARTA has no choice but to seriously prepare for significant transit service cuts and additional fare increases – along with continued depletion of the Authority’s quickly dwindling remaining reserves..."
The service cuts referenced by Dr Scott will impact MARTA service through the Clifton Corridor and the Emory campus unless ways can be found to avoid them. MARTA is conducting surveys and holding public meetings to get input from transit riders and stakeholders.
