Testifying before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, APTA Chair Dr. Beverly Scott, who is also GM/CEO of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), said that APTA has just completed a new survey that identified more than $8 billion in “ready-to-go” projects from 170 public transit systems that could start within 90 days of federal funding being made available.
