Inner Core - Beltline / C-Loop Study
STUDY PURPOSE & PROCESS
In March 2003, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority
(MARTA) initiated the Atlanta Inner Core Transit Feasibility
Study which is also known as the Beltline / C-Loop Study.
The study area includes the entire inner core area within
a circle of railroads around the City of Atlanta and portions
of DeKalb County. A graphic illustration of the study area
is shown below:
The study process will identify feasible routes and modes
of transportation through evaluating various technologies
and land use patterns of the Beltline/C-Loop concepts. Within
the study area, multiple corridor segments have been identified
based on existing transportation facilities, such as roadways
and railroad paths that connect neighborhoods, activity centers,
and points of interest. These corridor segments will be the
focus of the study effort and will provide the basis for developing
the alternatives to be considered.
The study is expected to be completed over a 13-month period.
A study schedule is included below that highlights major tasks
and milestones.
