Cobb: Transit Tax Would Increase Ridership Twelvefold

Cobb County's bold proposal for a 30-year 1% sales tax aims at revolutionizing its transit system. This plan, unveiled recently, is under review by the Atlanta-region Transit Link Authority, with a crucial referendum scheduled for November 5th.

Cobb County anticipates that this sales tax will increase ridership more than twelvefold by 2050. The tax, if approved, would raise the county's sales tax from 6% to 7%, generating an estimated $11 billion. This funding would be used to construct 108 miles of rapid bus routes, several new transit centers, and a countywide "microtransit" service.

The ATL board has unanimously approved Cobb’s project list, signaling a strong step forward. ATL staff highlighted the conservative financial projections, focusing on federal funding without relying on state assistance.

The final decision now lies with the Cobb Board of Commissioners, who will vote next Tuesday.
