Cobb Unveils Transit Tax Information Website

Cobb County launched a new website created to inform voters about the upcoming Nov. 5 transit tax referendum. This 30-year, 1% sales tax aims to fund public transit projects, raising the tax from 6% to 7%.

The Mobility Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (M-SPLOST) would collect $11 billion for 108 miles of rapid bus routes, new transit centers, and an on-demand microtransit system.

Cobb commissioners approved a $287,000 budget for an educational campaign conducted by consulting firm Kimley-Horn. This initiative includes meetings, social media content, and town halls to ensure you’re well-informed.

Supporters argue this tax is essential for accommodating population growth and easing congestion, while opponents cite its length and unprecedented cost. Visit cobbcounty.org/msplost for more details about the project.
