This is driven by bill SB386 in the Georgia State Legislature that's already passed the Senate and has been favorably reported by the House Transportation Committee.  The bill provides for the imposition of a transit special purpose local option sales and use tax for a 30 year period to be voted on by referendum. It creates 159 special districts (i.e. 159 Georgia counties) and a new governance authority entitled "Atlanta-region Transit Link "ATL" Commission" which consists of numerous appointed positions that are not accountable to the people.
