    First miles and last miles: enter MARTA Reach

    Transit has a “last-mile problem.”  Even in the densest, most transit-saturated cities, most people don’t have a bus or rail stop right at their front doors. In sprawling, mostly low-density cities like Atlanta, that problem is amplified even further. This is why MARTA is rolling out a new service called Reach on March 7, following a successful pilot a few years ago. Reach operates on-demand, similar to Uber or Lyft, but at the price of a single $2.50 MARTA fare and only within a defined zone.

    A safer Peachtree Street shouldn't be this difficult

    Peachtree Street is Atlanta’s most iconic corridor. It connects Downtown and Midtown. It’s home to major employers, MARTA stations, hotels, cultural landmarks, and some of the city’s busiest sidewalks. It’s also one of the hardest places to cross on foot. Every day, residents, workers, transit riders, and visitors are asked to navigate wide lanes of fast-moving traffic, often with no protection. In recent years, that danger has turned deadly.  This isn’t a mystery.And it isn’t a lack of planning. The City of Atlanta has already studied this crossing.Designs already exist.We already know what would make Peachtree safer. The real question is: why hasn’t it been built yet?
