$200 million a year more, plus the 50/50 split lifted. Let's build some stuff.

Wow! Fantastic news for MARTA.

I have to say I'm shocked at this turn of events considering the overall tone of this Legislative session...

Just checking, but we are still killing the $5k EV tax credit because everyone hates freeloaders, but keeping the $20k tax credit for CNG/LPG powered commercial vehicles because they've got lobbyists right?

Why not just cap the EV credit for consumers like they did with the commercial credit?

I'm still kind of hoping the great deal for MARTA wasn't an April Fools joke.
