Transportation in Atlanta
Atlanta's transportation system is a complex infrastructure of several systems, including 47.6 miles of heavy rail, 91 bus transit routes, 1600 licensed taxis, a comprehensive network of freeways, the world's busiest airport and over 45 miles of bike paths. Construction is underway on a Downtown streetcar while a wide range of other transportation projects (including two larger streetcar projects) are dependent on passage a July 2012 ballot initiative for an increased sales tax ("T-SPLOST).
The city began as a railroad town, and remains a major rail junction and home of major classification yards for Norfolk Southern and CSX. Amtrak provides the only remaining passenger service via its daily ''Crescent'' service to cities between New Orleans and New York.
Atlanta's subway system, operated by MARTA, is the eighth busiest in the country.〔American Public Transportation Association, (Heavy Rail Transit Ridership Report ), Fourth Quarter 2007.〕 The rail system is complemented by MARTA's bus system, the 14th largest in the country.
A 2011 Brookings Institution study placed Atlanta 91st of 100 metro areas for transit accessibility.〔("Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, GA Metro Area", part of "Missed Opportunity: Transit and Jobs in Metropolitan America", Brookings Institution, May 2011 )〕 However, reliance on cars has resulted in heavy traffic and has helped make Atlanta one of the more polluted cities in the country. The Clean Air Campaign was created in 1996 to help reduce pollution in metro Atlanta. Since 2008, Metro Atlanta has ranked at or near the top of lists of longest average commute times and worst traffic in the country.
