MARTA ANNOUNCES NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC INPUT ON NEXTGEN BUS NETWORK
Join the Conversation and Help Shape the Future of Transit in the Atlanta Region
ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is offering more than 30 opportunities for the public to participate in virtual and in-person meetings in 2025 as part of its unveiling of the draft NextGen Bus Network plan.
This strategic redesign of over 100 bus routes intends to deliver a smarter, faster, and better network to meet the evolving needs of the region. Comments and insights gathered during the public engagement period will help refine the draft network.
The 2025 public meetings will kick off with an open house at MARTA headquarters on Saturday, Jan. 25 and conclude with a final open house at the same location on Saturday, Feb. 22. Throughout this period, MARTA will offer a variety of in-person and virtual meeting options, including convenient virtual “lunch and learn” sessions tailored to midday schedules.
“The NextGen Bus Network is a transformative initiative built on equity and inclusive community engagement, marking a pivotal step in modernizing our transit system to meet the region’s rapid growth and evolving travel needs,” said MARTA General Manager and CEO Collie Greenwood. “We invite everyone to join the conversation. Your feedback—whether as a rider, resident, or stakeholder—will play a vital role in shaping and refining the NextGen Bus Network to better serve our communities throughout the Atlanta region.”

The NextGen Bus Network reflects MARTA’s long-term vision for a more equitable and efficient transit system that prioritizes access to jobs, education, essential services, and stronger community connections. Key proposed service enhancements include increased frequent service routes, enhanced job accessibility, and new, on-demand service zones that meet the diverse needs of lower-density areas.
The Atlanta region continues to experience unprecedented growth, with evolving travel needs and rising demand for flexible transit solutions. These shifts underscore the need for the NextGen Bus Network, designed to accommodate the region’s rapidly changing landscape and improve connectivity to destinations, job centers, and other essential services.
NextGen Bus Network: Smarter. Better. Faster.
