Jason Winston | Atlanta, GA | Atlanta City Council District 1

For our city to thrive, it must be accessible. Investing in transportation means cleaner air, less congestion, and more opportunities for everyone.

I didn’t have a car for two years when I moved to Atlanta and relied on MARTA for transportation, so I understand the importance of public transportation that works. I’m personally committed to additional investment in MARTA. With the “More MARTA” program, we have a huge opportunity to expand Atlanta transit and make our city cleaner and more connected.

I will work to expand our transportation options like the BeltLine Rail and prioritize the safety of all Atlanta residents, including making our streets safer for pedestrians and bike and scooter riders.  I will work to ensure our city streets and sidewalks are ADA compliant and safe for wheelchairs and strollers.

We must also prioritize more “Complete Streets” projects throughout the city to safely accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, public transportation riders and vehicle traffic in dedicated transit lanes.
