Issue Position: Transit Justice

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Transportation

I have already been working on behalf of District 65 residents by attending and participating in five Transit Master Plan Meetings hosted by the Aerotropolis Atlanta CID and the Atlanta Regional Commission. The transit study affects Chattahoochee Hills, Fairburn, Palmetto, South Fulton and Union City, and Douglasville is not left behind. The proposed transit for City of South Fulton is linked to Douglasville, connecting to South Fulton Parkway. There are environmental and economic benefits to public transit justice. South Fulton is in need of an improved transit justice system, but there is a fear of the emission of carbon particulate matter and nitrogen oxides that develop into smog and contribute to the asthma and other health problems. A state environmental justice plan can help raise state and municipal standards so that District 65 can have a smart transit.
