Championing Transit Equity
Georgia STAND-UP is a leader in transit equity advocacy, working to ensure that all communities have access to reliable and affordable transportation options. As a founding member of the Transformation Alliance (TFA), we have played a pivotal role in advancing transit-oriented development and equitable transit access in metro Atlanta and beyond.
Our efforts have resulted in tangible outcomes, such as the approval of a half-cent sales tax to fund public transportation expansion in previously underserved African American communities In Clayton County. We provide technical assistance and support to residents, ensuring they are informed about funds earmarked for transit expansion. We are the community watchdog at transit development meetings, advocating for critical capital and infrastructure improvements that improve access and connectivity for all.
