Simmons, Andria. “MARTA to Privatize Paratransit Service.” myAJC. N.p., 5 Nov. 2015. Web.

Local transportation news reporter Andria Simmons wrote in the Atlanta Journal- Constitution in the article “Marta to Privatize Paratransit Service” that the board members of Atlanta’s MARTA are considering “privatizing the operation and maintenance of its paratransit fleet”. She states that the individuals who use this transportation and the employees who operate these vehicles fear loosing mobility and jobs due to MARTA budget cutting. Simmons utilizes quotes from individuals such as MARTA’s board chairman Robbie Ashe and MV Transportation’s senior vice president of business Gary Coles, to help support her claim on the topic. Simmons published this article to inform Marta patrons with disabilities of the potential threat to their MARTA transportation. This article is useful, because it highlights the issues on how public transportation deal with disabled persons.
