The Clifton Corridor is a proposed public transportation corridor in and near Atlanta, Georgia. It stretches from Lindbergh Center eastwards, following the existing CSX rail corridor to Emory University, with possible continuation along the northern edge of Decatur via Suburban Plaza on N. Decatur Rd. and on to the Avondale MARTA station. As of October 2011, bus, light rail and heavy rail rapid-transit options are under consideration.[1]
In Summer 2012, there will be a referendum on a 1-cent sales tax (SPLOST) to fund traffic and road improvements. If approved, the tax will provide $700 million to fund rapid transit along the Clifton Corridor.[2]
Emory strongly supports rapid transit in the corridor.[3]
