Project Overview
Construction on MARTA’s first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line formally begins in Summer 2023, following preliminary utility work that began in 2022. Revenue service begins in Summer 2025.
The 5-mile roundtrip route will connect Downtown Atlanta to the Capitol Gateway, Summerhill, Peoplestown, and the Atlanta BeltLine with fast, frequent premium transit service. Connections to MARTA’s heavy rail system will be provided at Five Points, Georgia State, and Garnett stations.
Summerhill BRT features:
The Summerhill BRT line is funded through a Federal TIGER Grant and the More MARTA program with the City of Atlanta. Planning and design work took place between Spring 2019 and Summer 2022. Construction is expected during 2023 and 2024 with revenue service beginning in Summer 2025.
MARTA is currently developing a robust community engagement plan to keep residents in the surrounding communities informed about construction impacts. Stay tuned for more updates on this page and please sign up for email updates using the link below.
