AI Summary
- Georgia Senate urges the Clayton County Board of Commissioners to rescind its decision to discontinue C-Tran bus service, which was scheduled to end on March 31, 2010
- C-Tran serves more than 2.5 million riders annually, with average weekday ridership of 8,465, and 61% of riders rely on the service to commute to and from work
- 81% of C-Tran riders earn less than $35,000 annually, meaning discontinuation would impose significant financial hardship on low-income families forced to find costlier alternative transportation
- Ending public transit service is expected to harm Clayton County's ability to attract and retain businesses, increase traffic congestion, and worsen air quality in Metropolitan Atlanta
- The Secretary of the Senate is directed to transmit a copy of the resolution to the Clayton County Board of Commissioners
