MARTA’s expansion projects increase accessibility, mobility, and connectivity throughout the Atlanta metro region. Extending across four local jurisdictions, these projects include arterial rapid transit (ART), bus rapid transit (BRT), and transit hubs. Some examples of expansion project enhancements include:
- Dedicated bus lanes
- Traffic signal priority for buses
- Improved stations/shelters
- Pedestrian safety enhancements
- Digital signage with real-time updates
- New Breeze kiosks and vending
Expansion Projects are organized by jurisdiction below:
City of Atlanta
More MARTA, a transit improvement partnership between MARTA and the City of Atlanta, is building an expanded and integrated regional transportation network addressing current and future transportation needs. Funded by the half-penny sales tax overwhelmingly passed by Atlanta voters in 2016, More MARTA Atlanta is the largest transit investment in four decades – $2.7 billion over 40 years.
The More MARTA Atlanta program is aligned with the Atlanta Transportation Plan and the City’s efforts to build upon a layered, integrated, regional transportation network. It includes bus rapid transit (BRT) and arterial rapid transit (ART), local bus service, and various station upgrades.
Clayton County
MARTA is making groundbreaking investments to significantly expand transit and elevate the travel experience for riders across Clayton County. In addition to advancing the development of a new multi-purpose bus operations and maintenance facility in Forest Park and upgrading the Justice Center Transit Hub in South Clayton, MARTA is excited to continue the work of bringing premium bus rapid transit with the Rapid Southlake and Rapid SR-54 projects.
DeKalb County
MARTA continues to work with DeKalb County on a number of projects to meet the mobility, accessibility, and connectivity needs of the community. This work is guided by the
DeKalb County Transit Master Plan adopted in 2019. One of the cornerstone projects for this county is the South DeKalb Transit Initiative which addresses current and anticipated needs for high-quality, dependable transit and supports future economic growth.
Fulton County
MARTA and Fulton County collaborate on a number of projects to identify possible transit improvements and enhancements for the county, based on the 2018
