Regional transit website could be on the way | www.myajc.com

Public transit riders who want to travel across metro Atlanta could soon be able to consult a single website — instead of as many as four different ones — to buy fare cards and get schedule information.

The state Senate subcommittee on public transportation on Tuesday recommended that the region’s four transit providers create an online information hub by July 1, 2014.

The transit providers are Cobb County Transit, Gwinnett County Transit, MARTA and GRTA (Georgia Regional Transportation Authority). GRTA would organize the effort.

State Sen. Brandon Beach, an Alpharetta Republican who heads the subcommittee, said UPS has volunteered the help of several information technology executives to build the website, which will be named www.GoATLtransit.com.

The proposed resolution will be submitted to the Senate for approval on the first day of the session on Jan. 13.
