Georgia Chamber of Commerce CEO remains optimistic amid uncertain economic landscape; Propel ATL survey captures concerns of MARTA bus riders
While economic development in Georgia is steady, the state's economy is facing several crossroads. Economic uncertainty, instability in the job market, and severe immigration policies—plus the high cost of tariffs on consumers, small businesses and the agriculture industry have altered Georgia’s economic landscape. “Closer Look” host Rose Scott spoke to Chris Clark, the president and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Clark discussed the state’s economy, the need for Democrats and Republicans to work together amid the federal government shutdown, as well as the Chamber’s ongoing push to reform the visa process for international workers.
Plus, Propel ATL has released its “Voices from the Bus: MARTA Riders Speak Out” report. The bilingual survey aimed to capture the day-to-day experiences of riders on MARTA’s buses. It explored MARTA buses’ service frequency, reliability, accessibility, and equity. Jeremiah Jones, an advocacy manager at Propel ATL, discussed some of the key findings of the report and how the data can be used to drive MARTA’s operational and strategic decision-making to benefit its riders.
