Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority

With the passage of House Bill 511, state lawmakers have established a mechanism to annually fund capital transit projects that support economic development priorities throughout the state.

The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) completed a significant track replacement project where the system’s Red and Gold rail lines converge.

The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is investing about $225 million to improve safety, reduce train delays, and improve the customer experience.

The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) Board of Directors has adopted a nearly $1.2 billion operating and capital budget for the 2021 fiscal year.

The four jurisdictions in which MARTA provides service have passed the 15th amendment to the Rapid Transit Contract and Assistance Agreement.

The amendment outlines jurisdictional roles and responsibilities relating to the development of the MARTA system. It also ratifies the extension of the full penny sales tax levy through 2057, which the Georgia General Assembly approved in 2015.
