Getting Rid of MARTA
Introduction:
Have you ever heard of MARTA? MARTA is the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.In other words, it is a special purpose government aimed at making transit in the metro-Atlanta area faster. It has many train systems and bus routes that make the roads less clogged. It is also supposed to make money.
MARTA has not reached that second goal. What was supposed to be a money making government, soon became a money eating hole. We are trying to get rid of the hole that MARTA has made and still is making in our budget. We belive that disbanding it would help other things such as education get better.
Essential/Driving Research Question:
- What problem or issues have you discovered that needs to be addressed by the Georgia General Assembly? We found out the MARTA is a waste of money to our government, and should be removed immediately.
- What proposals do you have in order to help solve the identified issues? We came up with multi-media to get our message across. Also, we sent a letter to our nearest HoR representative.
Standards:
45a - explain the significance of membership in the Georgia General Assembly in regards to qualifications, terms, election and the duties of the members
45b - describe the organization of the Georgia General Assembly with emphasis on leadership and the committee system
45c - evaluate how the legislative branch fulfills its role as the lawmaking body for the State of Georgia

Result:
We accomplished many things while doing this project. We learned how bills can pass into laws and how to write and propose bills. We gained knowledge about how state government works and that we contact our state officials. We got almost a perfect match on our intended results with our final results.
Our team is trying to explain why we should disband MARTA. The final product is three things. First, is our video. Jett is talking in the video and explaining things in the video. Second, is the instagram we made, so word can go around about removing MARTA. Third, we made business cards to help anyone who doesn't understand our point.

Reflection:
The AKS states about how important the legislative branch is and how it succeeds its role. I learned that without the legislative branch, we would be hopeless. The project was very fun, acting like representatives. I learned how bills becomes a law. There were no problems when making the multi-media. This project was much better than most projects, such as the Civil War Project.
