Leadership changes are underway for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). Last week, MARTA CEO Collie Greenwood stepped down, citing concerns about his immigration status and “personal matters.” For now, Chief Customer Experience Officer Rhonda Allen is the acting CEO and general manager. Atlanta City Council President Doug Shipman, returns to “Closer Look” to talk more about the state of Atlanta’s public transportation system as the city gears up for the FIFA World Cup 26.

 

Plus, Chris Brand, president and CEO of Friends of Disabled Adults and Children. He shares more about the organization’s mission to provide medical equipment to Georgians — and how the nonprofit is responding amid ongoing federal cuts.
