Bus Network Redesign

In 2021, MARTA announced it would update the bus network to reflect the changing reality of where residents live and want to go. The pandemic and its aftermath delayed those efforts. Today, riders still report buses that don’t arrive due to trip cancellations or get stuck in traffic, causing them to miss work and appointments. We’re pleased to report the redesign process is finally getting going again. MARTA plans to start sharing the draft with the public this fall. We’ll be there, advocating for more frequent, reliable bus service—ideally, every 15 minutes—fewer canceled trips, and reliable information on bus locations and arrival times.

Atlanta may have the biggest World Cup. But will it be the best?

Most of Atlanta’s streets aren’t built around people – they’re designed for cars. Spending a lot of money just to patch them up is the wrong move for the World Cup, and it’s the wrong move for Atlanta. That's why we're calling for a different approach to preparations for the 2026 World Cup games in Atlanta. One that puts people – visitors and everyday Atlantans – first.  Read more

Campbellton Road Bus Rapid Transit

A line of paint doesn’t do much to prevent people from driving cars in bus or bike lanes. Instead, physical protection – think raised curbs and posts – can make bus and bike lanes safer for everyone. That’s why we’re pleased the Campbellton Road Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plans include 100% dedicated bus lanes, and why we’ve advocated for bus and bike/scoot lanes to be as high-quality as possible.
