UPDATE: I am committed to holding MARTA accountable for the horrific crimes that have occurred on its system. FTA has begun a comprehensive review of MARTA's security spending, safety protocols, and risks to riders and workers.
While MARTA met our initial deadline for a response and assured us they are taking action, we won't stop there. We are examining every aspect of their plan to verify if substantive improvements are being made. This includes pouring over hundreds of pages of documents and conducting on-site visits to see the situation on the ground. We will continue to work to secure Atlanta's system for passengers and transit workers alike.
🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!!
ANOTHER PERSON HAS BEEN ASSAULTED ON THE PUBLIC MARTA TRAIN IN ATLANTA.
WITNESSES SAY 3 BLACK MALES BEGAN KICKING, PUNCHING, AND BEATING ANOTHER BLACK MALE.
WE DON’T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!
