ATLANTA, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, September 11, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Metro Atlanta's long-awaited Northwest Corridor reversible Express Toll Lanes just opened. In a few short weeks, MARTA will announce how it plans to spend an estimated $2.5 billion in sales tax funds over the next 40 years. Gwinnett County just scheduled its voter referendum on a transit tax; more announcements are expected to follow in metro Atlanta.

Where should Georgia go on transportation?

You're invited to a Policy Briefing Luncheon with Robert Poole, co-founder of the Reason Foundation and its Director of Transportation Policy, at 11:30 a.m on Friday, September 21, at Cobb County's Georgian Club.
