==Planning==
Along with Gwinnett, Cobb voted against MARTA in the 1970s, and thus was left out of the system.  The lack of [[sales tax]] revenue from the two counties stunted the growth of MARTA, however the [[Georgia Regional Transportation Authority|GRTA]] created by former governor of Georgia [[Roy Barnes]] has been seeking to create other solutions, such as possible [[light rail]] to Cobb through the [[Cumberland Mall (Georgia)|Cumberland Mall]] and [[Town Center at Cobb]] areas.  Other solutions proposed include special bus-only [[lane]]s on [[Interstate 75]], and [[commuter rail]] into [[Cherokee County, Georgia|Cherokee County]].  A cross-suburb line over to Gwinnett County has also been proposed, intersecting with a future extended MARTA north line between [[Roswell, Georgia|Roswell]] and [[Sandy Springs, Georgia|Sandy Springs]] in [[Fulton County, Georgia|Fulton County]].

===2019 Light Rail Proposal===
In May 2010 Cobb's Board of Commissioners approved further funding to study a light rail line from the Cumberland/Galleria area to the Town Center/KSU area.  If constructed, the line would be approximately {{convert|14.5|mi}} long with seven stations.  The proposed line would be constructed and operational by 2019 with the expectation of nearly 50,000 riders daily by 2025.  At each end of the line, a circulator bus system has also been proposed bringing the total expected ridership for the new combined LRT/BRT system to nearly 100,000.  The project would be funded and operated through both federal and local sources.  As of 2010, it is unclear whether or not the new transit system would be operated by CCT, a new agency, or even another existing agency such as MARTA.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 5, 2010 |title=VISIONS Light Rail |url=http://dot.cobbcountyga.gov/Planning_Studies/DOT_Visions_Final_May2010.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100714032824/http://dot.cobbcountyga.gov/Planning_Studies/DOT_Visions_Final_May2010.pdf |archive-date=2010-07-14 |access-date=2010-07-03 |website=dot.cobbcountyga.gov}}</ref>

===Flex Busses and Shuttles ===
In 2015, Flex buses were added in Cobb County.<ref>{{Cite web |last=admin |date=2015-04-02 |title=South Cobb Welcomes Flex Transit |url=https://brightsidecobb.com/south-cobb-welcomes-flex-transit/ |access-date=2024-10-09 |website=The Bright Side |language=en-US}}</ref> They are organized into three zones in Powder Springs and Austell. There is also a Cumberland CID circulator shuttle.
