Beltline Rail Music Video

This project is about making Atlanta a better city, for all of us. It's a music video that we plan to go ATL viral, to get the people to push back against the Marta board's very flawed plans to use taxpayer's money to build rail that doesn't serve most of the constituents who will pay for it, for the next 40 years. The Marta board vote happens Oct. 4th, so we have to move fast! 

In 2016, the people of Atlanta voted on a regressive sales tax (TSPLOST) to build more mass transit. The politicians led the conversation with putting rail along the entire Beltline loop. Residents got excited and overwhelmingly passed the referendum. Now, Marta is planning to vote on a plan that would break that promise (only 7 miles of Beltline rail, vs. all 22 miles).  Their plan is to spend the bulk of the money on the Clifton Corridor, a project that wasn't even part of the city when the vote happened and runs partially through Dekalb County.  The plan would make the City of Atlanta foot the entire bill, instead of asking Dekalb and the state of Georgia to pay their fair share, as it is a regional project. 

Transit on the Beltline is important.  It goes around the city much like 285 does.  It connects with Marta's north/south lines and the east/west lines and provides a great deal of connection for much of Atlanta. In the next 20 years, a million more people will be coming to the city of Atlanta alone (2.5 million to the metro area) and we need to plan for that growth and get people off the roads.
