Currently, Atlanta's mayor, much like Shirley Franklin & Kasim Reed while they were in the office, is one of BeltLine rail's biggest supporters. Andre Dickens' familiarity & enthusiasm date back to when he served as chairman of the Atlanta City Council Transportation Committee. Atlanta BeltLine Inc. CEO Clyde Higgs, the Atlanta representatives on the MARTA Board of Directors, the majority of BeltLine NPUs (Neighborhood Planning Units) also support the complete vision of the project as it was explained to voters in 2016, when 71% voted to tax themselves to fund it & other projects on what later evolved into the More MARTA projects list. BRN delivered a petition of public support with more than 10,000 signatures in 2018 & met one-on-one with NPUs & neighborhood groups in 2022-2023.
