About MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority)

ABOUT US: Welcome to MARTA. We don't just move Atlanta, we build careers. Our workforce is made up of 5,000 mechanics, drivers, technicians, engineers, planners, operators and more; no matter your skill, you'll fit in here. HISTORY: We didn’t put up 48 miles of rail and 740 bus stops overnight. We started MARTA with a commitment to making public transit a reliable service — one that boosts economic development and enhances the lives of people across Metro Atlanta. Our story began in the 1950s when people first started to recognize the importance of Atlanta’s public transportation. They saw it as more than just a way to get people from point A to point B. They saw it as a vital part of the city’s future growth. Although the way we serve this city has changed over the years, our commitment remains the same. We believe public transportation is far more than a last resort. It’s a chance to better serve the people and communities all throughout our city. Learn more about our story here.
