$3B+ Infrastructure Challenge

Atlanta has more than $3B in infrastructure funding needs over the next 20 years

55% of city streets lack sidewalks. Existing sidewalk network has a major repair backlog.

Street designs are outdated, increasing high speeds. 65 people killed in crashes in 2020.

Subpar conditions at public safety facilities, damaging capabilities and morale.

Though we’ve opened several new parks, existing facilities have a large backlog of repairs.

$700M Plan: Next Five Years

If voters approve the Infrastructure Bond and a renewal of TSPLOST in Spring 2022, it is estimated that the City will have $700M over five years to invest in infrastructure needs

$400M Infrastructure Bond:

General obligation (GO) and other revenue bonds are a primary source of funding for capital investments to replace and expand city infrastructure

$300M TSPLOST (Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax)

TSPLOST is a 4/10 of a penny sales tax on all retail purchase. This means everyone who makes a purchase in the city including visitors. By law, a TSPLOST can only be used for certain transportation capital projects.
