Transit Services

MARTA Train

Overview

Georgia DOT Transit Programs provide transit capital and operating assistance to the 14 urban and 114 rural transit programs in the state. Transit Programs also provides planning assistance to all 15 Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in Georgia.

Public transit programs are a key part of Georgia’s ability to mitigate congestion, improve air quality, and facilitate economic development. Future demographic trends and economic realities of the state suggest that transit will become increasingly important to many Georgians looking to live, work and play in communities without having to rely on the sole use of single occupancy vehicles (SOVs). A snapshot of Georgia transit systems and programs is shown below.
