BRACK: Gwinnett, Metro Atlanta, finally moving toward key transit vote

APRIL 20, 2018 | Finally, at long last, people throughout the area seem to be realizing that something must be done about the number one problem in Metro Atlanta: public transit.

We see this new concern in Gwinnett County, in Metro Atlanta, and most interestingly, at the Georgia General Assembly. Their action this year seems to open the possibility that significant transit action can start soon.

FOCUS: Snellville, other cities use cop cab to send drivers a message

By Brian Arrington | Snellville’s Cop Cab isn’t alone on Georgia roads.

The roving billboard which encourages those who see it not to drink and drive, is one of at least five such police vehicles in the state. It has been in use in Snellville since June of 2014. Councilman Bobby Howard says: “The idea behind the Cop Cab is to make sure people think before they drink and drive. I’m glad to see other cities spreading that same message using cars like the one we have in Snellville.”
