Welcome to a new era of transit in Clayton County, where MARTA is making groundbreaking investments to radically expand transit and elevate the travel experience in the county. In addition to advancing the development of a new multipurpose operations and maintenance facility in Forest Park and an upgraded transit hub in South Clayton, MARTA is excited to continue its work in bringing premium Rapid bus services in the form of Rapid Southlake and Rapid SR 54.
- MARTA Rapid Southlake emerged as the preferred bus rapid transit (BRT) option to the western portions of the county.
- MARTA Rapid SR 54 will explore BRT alternatives to improve the north-south mobility in the county.
- Justice Center Transit Hub will provide a safe and convenient place for passengers to transfer between buses with enhanced amenities and services.
- The Clayton Multipurpose Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Facility will support MARTA’s service expansion, supplement existing maintenance facilities, and improve MARTA’s existing bus network in Clayton County.
- A Transit-Supportive Land Use Study was completed in 2020 to determine the land use and zoning policies that jurisdictions could implement along the MARTA Rapid Clayton alignments to encourage more transit-supportive land uses in the proposed station areas.
- Clayton Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Pilot Project will determine potential strategies to encourage TOD and mixed-use developments around the proposed MARTA Rapid Southlake stations.
