You can drive all night… but you can’t use a shared scooter or bike in Atlanta after midnight. Before the 2019 curfew, shared devices in Atlanta were available 24/7, aiding many night-shift workers. Now, there's a push to extend these hours again. Every form of transportation has its issues. But limiting people's choice of transportation at night does not make people safer. In 2022 Atlanta City Council extended the operating hours to midnight. Now, we have the chance to further extend the hours of micromobility in Atlanta to 2 AM, closer to equal footing with other forms of transportation that don’t get shut down overnight.  Read more

In 2021, MARTA announced it would update the bus network to reflect the changing reality of where residents live and want to go. The pandemic and its aftermath delayed those efforts. Today, riders still report buses that don’t arrive due to trip cancellations or get stuck in traffic, causing them to miss work and appointments. We’re pleased to report the redesign process is finally getting going again. MARTA plans to start sharing the draft with the public this fall. We’ll be there, advocating for more frequent, reliable bus service—ideally, every 15 minutes—fewer canceled trips, and reliable information on bus locations and arrival times.

Most of Atlanta’s streets aren’t built around people – they’re designed for cars. Spending a lot of money just to patch them up is the wrong move for the World Cup, and it’s the wrong move for Atlanta. That's why we're calling for a different approach to preparations for the 2026 World Cup games in Atlanta. One that puts people – visitors and everyday Atlantans – first.  Read more

A line of paint doesn’t do much to prevent people from driving cars in bus or bike lanes. Instead, physical protection – think raised curbs and posts – can make bus and bike lanes safer for everyone. That’s why we’re pleased the Campbellton Road Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plans include 100% dedicated bus lanes, and why we’ve advocated for bus and bike/scoot lanes to be as high-quality as possible.
