Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority

The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) has named a local transit executive as its next general manager and CEO.

A proposed bill in the Georgia state legislature aims to improve the coordination, integration and efficiency of transit in the 13-county Metro Atlanta region.

MARTA is planning to replace its entire fleet of railcars, including some railcars that date to 1979, when the transit system opened, published reports indicate.
