Save MARTA is asking all Metro Atlanta area residents to give up their cars on
Friday, April 17, 2009, and ride a bus or a train.
Save MARTA is a growing coalition of organizations, local communities, and individuals who demand sensible funding and legislative support for MARTA.
Motivated by impending MARTA service cuts, many Metro Atlanta residents are coming together to support their public transit system by celebrating Ride MARTA Day on
Friday, April 17.
On Ride MARTA Day, participants will all ride MARTA at least once, per their usual commute or replacing their usual mode of transportation. Participants will ride at the time of their choosing. In other words, all you need to do is ride the bus or train on
Friday, April 17.
The purpose of Ride MARTA Day is to bring all concerned Metro Atlanta residents into a community building activity that will boost ridership, expose new riders to useful routes, express solidarity with MARTA workers and regular commuters, and demonstrate that, as the backbone of their city´s transportation system, MARTA must be fairly funded.
