ATLANTA – State Representative Mike Glanton (D-Jonesboro) was recently appointed by Governor Brian Kemp to serve on the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Overview Committee (MARTOC).
“I am grateful that Governor Kemp appointed me to MARTOC, and I am eager to serve in this position for the next two years,” said Rep. Glanton. “As Atlanta and its surrounding cities continue to grow, transportation and transit projects must remain a priority for the legislature, and this joint House and Senate committee is vital to overseeing metro Atlanta’s transportation infrastructure. I look forward to continuing to serve Georgians by connecting our communities through public transit.”
MARTOC is a statutory committee which provides oversight of the budget for MARTA. As a joint committee with the House and Senate, MARTOC does not handle legislation nor do the members have a vote on the MARTA Board of Directors.
