    • About the Transit Planning Board

    The Transit Planning Board (TPB) was a partnership that was established to help develop and maintain a seamless, integrated transit network for the Atlanta region. Created by a joint resolution of the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) and the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA), the TPB completed:

    • An initial planning phase of at least two years during which it developed a consensus based, realistic regional transit plan including a realistic, illustrative comprehensive financial plan;
    • Worked to improve regional service coordination through several projects including bus maintenance issues, joint bus stops, and service extensions;
    • Measured system performance; and,
    • Advocated for increased federal funding for regional transit.

    The TPB was led by an 19 member board of directors made up of County Commission Chairpersons, the DeKalb County CEO, the Mayor of Atlanta, the Chairpersons of the Boards of MARTA, GDOT and GRTA, the MARTA General Manager/CEO, and appointees of the Governor of Georgia.
