Death of great-grandmother brutally killed on train triggers federal action

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy reaffirmed the Trump administration's commitment to holding Atlanta's Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) "accountable" following the horrific stabbing death of a great-grandmother, announcing Friday that the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is actively scrutinizing the transit system's safety and security plans.

In an X post Friday, Duffy said the FTA has launched a comprehensive review of MARTA's security spending and safety protocols, along with risks to riders and workers.
