The recently formed Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority released a new regional transit plan.

"Efforts to improve transit across metro Atlanta took a step forward Tuesday when a state agency released a tentative list of projects for a regional transit plan," reports David Wickert.
The 76 projects on the Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority's list include "major rail projects such as the Clifton Corridor and the Beltline in Atlanta, a MARTA extension to Norcross and a commuter rail line to Clayton County," as well as "bus rapid transit lines in DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties and other improvements across 12 metro counties."
As noted by Wickert, many of the projects still require funding from sources outside the region to move forward.
If you've never seen the name Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority before, you're probably not alone. The new agency was created by the state General Assembly last year, as documented by Wickert at the time. In all, the agency oversees transit in 13 counties in the Atlanta region.
Wickert followed up coverage of the list's release with another article that shares the entire list.
"The agency plans to roll out the details to the public at a series of public hearings beginning in October," writes Wickert in the final article linked here.
