It's really simple - we ride MARTA on Friday. www.ridemartaday.com
Who: Save MARTA, a growing coalition of organizations, communities, and individuals who demand sensible funding and legislative support for MARTA.
What: In light of impending MARTA service cuts due to state level legislative action and inaction, Metro Atlantans are coming together to support the 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 Atlantans 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 our transportation system, MARTA must be fairly funded.
When: Friday, April 17, 2009, all day.
Where: MARTA trains and buses.
