Urge your legislator to support commuter rail

Atlanta drivers spent an average of 67 hours delayed in traffic in 2003, according to a 2005 study by the Texas Transportation Institute. People are flocking to Atlanta—an estimated 2.5 million more are expected by 2030—which will only exacerbate our already-serious traffic problems.

Commuter rail lines, such as the proposed Macon-Atlanta Line, and the "BrainTrain" from Athens to Atlanta, have the potential to drastically decrease congestion by giving commuters an alternative to driving on our congested highways.

Call your representative and ask him or her to support funding for public transportation.  You can reach the Georgia General Assembly at 404-656-2000. If you don't know who your representative is, that's OK. Just tell the operator your town and zip code, and they will connect you.

Then, please report your call below so we can keep track of how many calls are made.
