MARTA joins Atlanta in mourning the passing of former State Senator Vincent Fort, a pioneering statesman who cared passionately about the wellbeing of every Georgian. As a longtime member of MARTOC, Senator Fort played a vital role in providing oversight and support for MARTA, championing the importance of public transit and economic opportunity.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who were inspired by his leadership and service.
