    • About the Transit Planning Board

    The Transit Planning Board (TPB) is a partnership that will establish 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 will:

    • Conduct an initial planning phase of at least two years during which it will develop a regional transit plan including a comprehensive financial plan;
    • Work to improve regional service coordination, including integrating fares, marketing and customer information;
    • Measure system performance; and,
    • Advocate for increased federal funding for regional transit.

    The TPB is 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.
