- Potential for weekend service expansion
- Reduced traffic congestion

- Continued growth and development of the Henry Transit system
By providing a reliable and efficient transportation option, Henry Transit is set to make a positive impact on the community, connecting residents to jobs, shopping, and entertainment.
The system connects to GRTA and Marta on Hwy 138. I never understand the question about Marta causing crime when Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, and Johns Creek have Marta in very nice areas. The stereotyping of MARTA came from racial stereotyping trying to keep black residents from coming to the suburbs in the past. Now many of us repeat it. Marta currently comes to Clayton County unincorporated Stockbridge multi times a day on Hwy 138 and there is not a single issue I am aware of.
I tell people all the time Marta is not the cause of crime because criminals have cars. Nobody steals your TV and then gets on the bus,it’s ridiculous. Marta is the victim of crime in area that already have major crime issues . Marta is not the problem because crime is not an issue in the nice areas Marta serves . They are just a service provider in the high crime area. Again criminals have cars!
No one ever says Marta is the problem in Roswell , Alpharetta and John’s Creek, and, Milton. No one says Marta runs in many good areas with low crime. Knowledge is power.
Don’t do to others what was done to us to keep us out of the suburbs like Henry County but we came away and raise the bar of quality development here!
