Hartsfield-Jackson’s SkyTrain would get 12 replacement vehicles and four additional vehicles under a proposal to put up to $27.4 million toward manufacturing. The distinction matters: the proposal calls for 16 vehicles to be built, not 16 additions to the fleet.[1]
Resolution 26-R-4410 would fund Phase 3 of the airport’s 10-year SkyTrain modernization program with Crystal Mover Services, Inc. The proposed allocation is capped at $27,417,824 and would allow manufacturing to begin; it is not identified as the price of the entire modernization program.[1]
Atlanta’s Transportation Committee is scheduled to take up the proposal at its November 9 meeting, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Larry M. Dingle Committee Room at City Hall, 55 Trinity Avenue. The agenda includes a public-comment period with three minutes per speaker.[1]
The funding is a proposal on the committee agenda, not an established approval. The agenda item gives no delivery or start-of-service date for the vehicles.[1]
