Minutes Upon motion by Mr. Bishop, seconded by Mr. Blount, the reading of the minutes of the July meeting was dispensed with and they were unanimously approved. Financial Report The General Manager presented the financial report as of July 31, 1967, which is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes. DeKalb County had sent in its second quarterly payment; Gwinnett County was the only one in arrears. Progress Reports General Manager Mr. Stuart reported on the two-week managerial seminar he attended at Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, sponsored by Kent University and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The General Manager said Los Angeles, Seattle and Washington, D.C., were to have referenda during 1968 with regard to rapid transit. He pointed out that insufficiency of federal funds may be less important than the competition from these cities. Mr. Rich men- tioned the importance of taking steps to hold a referendum in 1968. Mr. Stuart reported on meetings with Cousins Properties regarding MARTA's requirements. Cousins Properties were about to incur cer- tain construction expenses in the Air Rights area in their efforts to provide for future rapid transit operations; these were costs that could be charged to MARTA under appropriate agreements. Mr. Stuart requested the Board's approval to continue negotiations with Cousins. Costs involved had not been determined; however, Mr. Stuart estimated them to be between $70,000 and $90,000. The Chief Engineer was to meet with representatives from Cousins Prop- erties and reach agreement as to exact costs which would be even- tually chargeable to MARTA, when funds were available. MARTA would be responsible for accrued interest as well. It was moved by Mr. Bishop and seconded by Mr. Haverty that the General Manager continue negotiations with Cousins Properties with an indication of intent on the part of the Authority, provided all requirements were met.  Mr. Stuart said the proposed subcontract between Parsons, Brincker- hoff-Tudor, Bechtel and Law Engineering Testing Company for test borings had been reviewed and found to be in order. Upon motion by Mr. Bishop, seconded by Mr. McMillon, approval was given to pro- ceed with the subcontract. Mr. Rich suggested that in the future the General Manager prepare a brief write-up on each proposed subcontract prior to the Board meeting. Consultants Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel Mr. Coil summarized the report given at the briefing prior to the Board meeting, which included parking layouts, patronage estimates, and parking lot requirements for the 64-mile system; work contem- plated in connection with the soils engineer on the central and west lines which Law Engineering Testing Company was to do; as well as the work being done in San Francisco on central line alignments affecting the I-75/I-85 connector on West Peachtree Street.

The question of mass transit is one which plagues all cities, especially Atlanta. My concern with urban transportation has involved me with legislation since my arrival in Congress. In 1964, after months of work, my committee on Banking and Currency reported out and pressed ior passage of the first major rapid transit bill in this country. The act passed the Congress: and I am pleased to report that under it, Atlanta has received almost $300,000 in Federal Aid. Atlanta demands a rapid transit system to unify a growing city. The metropolitan center must grow··into a cohesive unit with -organized means of transportation. Currently, the Congress is considering the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1966. The bill was reported out of my committee and passed the House on August 16th. The bill included an amendment which I offered for grants for technical study. Under this section of the bill, grants are made available to states and local public bodies and agencies: for planning, engineering, and designing of urban mass transportation projects. Studies pertaining to feasibility of- projects, preparation of ~urveys and engineering specifications, and other pre-construction activities fall under this section. The version of the bill which passed the House kept my amendment intact.

M Bi ll) Williams ., Chairman of the Governor's Commit tee on Traffic Safety, repcr ·~ed en his commit tee's -t",estimony before a u. s. House Committee hearing on proposzd federal automobile safet.y legislation. 0 ( The committee hearing was told, Williams said, that a federal agency to lead the way for traffic safe t y is necessary for unifo~mity . How2ver, Williams added, Georgians do not want fo dGral con-::.rol; just federal l e adership. The federal legislators, Williams reported, were told that a cill submitted by Georgia Congressman James Mackay is superior to the administration measure. Williams added, however, that there are portions of the President's bill that the C~orgia panel agrees with. Industry's Position on Safety Bills: James Golden of Ford Motor Company, in Atlanta, predicted that compromise legislation would come out of u. s. Congressional proceedings on federal safety standards for automobiles allowing the states to participate in setting the standards. Golden said industry wants the states to utilize their know-how in the field of safety when standards are set and that federal authorities should supervise. Golden predicted, however, that t he Vehicle Equipment Safety Corrnnis s ion, which a lready has been setting standards, will not be utilized by t he fede r al gover nment. It is wrong to conclude that the s tates have done nothing in the field of auto safety, Golden said. Then he enmnerated many safety features now on automobiles tha t came about through states actions. It is also wrong to conclude that the industry has done nothing, Golden . said . Ther e would be many more deaths on the highways if industr y had not been attacking t he problem, he said. Other bus ine s s : Chairman Hube r t de clar ed that constr uction of per imeter r oads would be a good alternati ve to r apid t rans it . They would keep thr ough traffic off downtown s tretches, he s aid, and all ow l ocal t raffi c to f l ow mor e smoothly. He urged the conference t o cons ider three points f or f uture programs . They are (1) f i nish perimeter roads, ( 2) start pl anning mor e oute r perime te r r oads, and ( 3) plan f or additi onal traffic now on freeways, including overbuilding in downtown areas and extra lanes for other portions. The Atlanta Automobile Association was approved for membership by the Conference. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

As requested by Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. on June 28, 1967, MARTA and its staff and consultants have reviewed the proposal made by the Atlanta Transit System for 11 RAPID BUSWAYS" in Atlanta. The proposal was given serious and objective consideration and study over a period of approximately five weeks. Contact was made with Atlanta Transit System personnel and additional material was obtained from them. MARTA reports three basic findings: 1. The costs to develop the busways were seriously underestimated. MARTA estimates that the costs would be three to four times the amount noted in the proposal. 2. Time schedules also were seriously underestimated. No busway could be made operational in less than 3½ years, the same time required for the East Line of rapid transit. The interim between completion of busways and completion of rail rapid transit would range from a minimum of one year to a maximum of three years. 3. The amount of busways coinciding with MARTA routes is no more than 50 percent, and quite likely would be no more than one third and require considerable expenditures which would never be recovered by MARTA. MARTA makes two recommendations : 1. Because of the high cost for very short term relief , _ implementati on of the "Rapid Busways 11 proposal should not be attempted . 2. If the public interest demands an e x perimental development of buswa y s , it is recommended that any expe r i mental busway be bui l t f i r st along MARTA ' s Ea s t - We s t Li n e . The attac hed r eport p r ovides deta il s f o r the above find ing s and recomme ndat i o ns ., - 1 - �CLOSING SUMMARY Based on MARTA's study and review of the " Rapid Busways" proposal , MARTA concludes that the implementation of the busways proposal as it now stands is not practicable e --The time required to complete a specific busways and rapid transit line (except where subway is concerned) is virtually the same. The " interim" between operational busways and operational rapid transit would be almos~ entirely consumed by the laying of tracks for rapid transit . --The total cost of busways is not $52 million as described in the proposal , but , according to MARTA engineers, more like $150 million. --While $150 million is indeed much less than the cost of rapid transit , busways so constructed would not do the job of relieving traffic as will be required for a permanent longrange solution for a city of 2 million people. - -Although there is a great differential in costs , it would be much more wasteful to spend $150 million for an inadequate interim system than to spend $350 million for permanent and eff i cient relief . MARTA ther efore : 1. Di sappr o v es of busways as a permanent solution and r ecommen ds against its i mplementation as an interim mea s u r e ; 2. Co n c l udes that the e x per imental route p r oposed b y the At l anta Tr a p s i t System as an interim soluti on would be a wa s te of p ub li c money ; 3.

MARTA reports three basic findings: ‘Ls The costs to develop the busways were seriously under- estimated. MARTA estimates that the costs would be three to four times the amount noted in the proposal. Time schedules also were seriously underestimated. No busway could be made operational in less than 34 years, the same time required for the East Line of rapid transit.

The amount of busways coinciding with MARTA routes is no more than 50 percent, and quite likely would be no more than one third and require considerable expendi- tures which would never be recovered by MARTA. MARTA makes two recommendations: iia Because of the high cost for very short term relief, im- plementation of the "Rapid Busways" proposal should not be attempted. If the public interest demands an experimental develop-— ment of busways, it is recommended that any experimental busway be built first along MARTA's East-West Line. The attached report provides details for the above findings and recommendations. Sil = CLOSING SUMMARY Based on MARTA's study and review of the "Rapid Busways" pro- posal, MARTA concludes that the implementation of the busways proposal as it now stands is not practicable. --The time required to complete a specific busways and rapid transit line (except where subway is concerned) is virtually the same. The “interim" between operational busways and operational rapid transit would be almost entirely consumed by the laying of tracks for rapid transit. --The total cost of busways is not $52 million as described in the proposal, but, according to MARTA engineers, more like $150 million. --While $150 million is indeed much less than the cost of rapid transit, busways so constructed would not do the job of relieving traffic as will be required for a permanent long- range solution for a city of 2 million people. --Although there is a great differential in costs, it would be much more wasteful to spend $150 million for an inadequate interim system than to spend $350 million for permanent and efficient relief. MARTA therefore: 1. Disapproves of busways as a permanent solution and recommends against its implementation as an interim measure; Concludes that the experimental route proposed by the Atlanta Transit System as an interim solution would be a waste of public money; Recommends that if it is deemed necessary by the Atlanta city officials to develop an experimental section, that the experimental section should utilize MARTA‘'s East-West Lines, and use them exclusively and not attempt to use rights of way which will never be of any value to MARTA. —-END-  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
