The Atlanta City Council voted unanimously Monday to support light rail along the full 22-mile Atlanta Beltline corridor, calling on the mayor’s office to work with MARTA, Atlanta Beltline, Inc., and other city departments on an implementation and funding plan. The 14-0 vote does not authorize construction or commit the city to spending billions of dollars, but requires officials to report back by Jan. 26, 2027.

The resolution follows a multiyear transit study recommending three light rail routes: a full Beltline Loop and Northern and Southern routes connecting to downtown. The proposed system is estimated to cost about $3.5 billion and could generate roughly 4.2 million rides annually, though additional funding, planning and engineering would be needed.
