Capital Projects
In addition to large-scale development projects and those aimed at improving MARTA’s core services, we also regularly address the needs of the entire MARTA system. This includes projects aimed at enhancing and replacing current amenities, expanding our services and rehabilitating underused or outdated features.
The Division of Capital Programs, Expansion & Innovation has developed a Project Snapshot Tool to provide information about MARTA's Capital Improvement Program, which lays out MARTA's planned capital investments over the next 10 years. The tool provides a "snapshot" by focusing primarily on projects that have funding in the current fiscal year. Click here to access the tool and learn more.
