Governor Sonny Perdue announced in a press conference today a plan to revamp Atlanta’s commuter rail. Perdue has committed his support for the pilot program and will ask next year’s legislature for funding. Plans also include a commuter train that will run from metro Atlanta to Lovejoy and Griffin. The Governor acknowledges that the current system has failed to keep up with Georgia’s growing business and population needs.
For immediate relief, 13 million dollars in already approved funds have been earmarked to add 28 new buses.
