Lucy McBath (GA-07) announced that the Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) will receive a $1.75 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation for the Regional Infrastructure Accelerator Program (RIAP). This funding was requested by McBath in a letter of support to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in May of this year.\n\n\u201cOnce again, the historic federal investments made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are delivering results to the Metro Atlanta region,\u201d McBath said. \u201cMARTA is working hard to deliver quality transit combined with robust transit-oriented development to build stronger communities. This funding will ultimately enhance access to affordable housing and good-paying jobs while propelling economic mobility for my constituents. I was proud to support MARTA\u2019s grant application and champion the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. I look forward to seeing our community reap the benefits of this federal award.\u201d\n\n\u201cMARTA is grateful for Rep. McBath\u2019s support in securing this accelerator grant,\u201d said MARTA General Manager & CEO Collie Greenwood. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled that MARTA will now be able to form a dedicated team to work alongside the traditional funding teams to coordinate with regional partners and USDOT to solve funding gaps for transit and TOD projects.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mcbath.house.gov/press-releases?ID=957C68EA-36FB-42FD-B848-0A73F0521645"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6418491248041391, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
