A lawsuit has been filed in the Fulton County Superior Court on Friday, June 26, 2020, to compel the General Manager and CEO Jeffrey Parker to comply with its mandatory public duty under the MARTA ACT of 1965 (1965 Ga.

Laws p 2243) and its amendments and the limitations of the RTCAA contract to unbind and re-instate the unlawful elimination of the 70 bus routes, schedules, and fares which required board approval before the routes were eliminated by CEO Jeffrey Parker on April 20, 2020.

The Plaintiff seeks the enforcement of the MARTA Act sections 9 (a) and 9 (c).

MARTA transit service on April 20, 2020, eliminated 70 out of 101 routes without the MARTA board vote or any public hearing as required by law using the coronavirus safety as the reason that MARTA did not follow the regular procedures to obtain MARTA board approval.

The CEO of MARTA is acting outside of the authority of the law.
