A panel that may take a critical role in creating regional mass transit out of metro Atlanta’s patchwork of agencies is taking shape.
House Speaker David Ralston has appointed Reps. Ed Lindsey (R-Atlanta), Pat Gardner (D-Atlanta), Donna Sheldon (R-Dacula) and David Knight (R-Griffin), all of the ten-county metro Atlanta area, to serve on a group commissioned by the state Legislature this year to study mass transit governance, and propose legislation by Aug. 1, 2011.
Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle has not yet appointed the four senators who will serve on the panel, the Transit Governance Study Commission, said a Cagle spokeswoman. MARTA’s general manager, the heads of all transit agencies in metro Atlanta and other transportation officials will also serve on the commission, including the chairman of the Regional Transit Committee, a post currently held by Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
