The time to build rail on the BeltLine is NOW

BeltLine Rail Now is a grass roots citizen action group formed to advocate for transit on the Atlanta BeltLine. Begun in 2003 as a transit-oriented project, still has no transit component. In 2016, the citizens of Atlanta voted for a half-penny sales tax expected to raise $2.5 billion dollars for investment in rapid transportation expansion. As MARTA and the City of Atlanta are working to prioritize projects competing for that half-penny sales tax, we have developed the following guiding principles which we feel should be at the heart of those decisions. These principles have guided our advocacy.
