What’s YOUR Reason for Rail on the BeltLine?


Maybe it’s Atlanta’s notoriously congested roads. Or perhaps you can’t reach a quality grocery store without an hour’s wait for a bus. Or maybe you moved to Atlanta from a city where owning a car was optional. There are MANY reasons to be fired up about the construction of light rail on the BeltLine. What’s your reason?

BeltLine Rail Now created Rail Writers to allow Atlantans like you to voice your passion for building light rail on the Atlanta BeltLine. Guest writers are invited to articulate their vision of an Atlanta with a completed rail system on the BeltLine, and the many benefits enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. We also welcome insights into the current political and socioeconomic conversation around transit in Atlanta. Rail Writer entries are posted roughly monthly on BRN’s blog, and distributed on our social media channels (FB, X, IG). Please submit your entry using the form below.
