Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority

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.

MARTA is taking over operations of the beleaguered Atlanta Streetcar, according to published news reports.

The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) earlier this month selected the head of MARTA as its 2015 Outstanding Public Transportation Manager.
