MARTA SUSPENDS MONDAY BUS, RAIL AND MOBILITY SERVICE



MARTA GM: Safety Remains Our Top Priority


ATLANTA—The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) will suspend all bus, rail, and mobility service for Monday, Sept. 11, ahead of the anticipated severe weather conditions caused by Hurricane Irma. 
 
Due to Hurricane Irma's projected impact in Georgia, Gov. Nathan Deal expanded the emergency declaration throughout the entire state of Georgia. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has opened an emergency shelter and urged residents to remain off the roadways. 
 
“The projected impact of this approaching storm requires us to suspend all MARTA service for Monday. We will continue to coordinate with state and local officials and emergency personnel to determine our service schedule for Tuesday,” said MARTA GM/CEO Keith Parker. “Safety remains our top priority for both our customers and employees.”
 
MARTA customers are encouraged visit the MARTA website ( www.itsmarta.com) or call customer service at 404-848-5000 for updates regarding Tuesday’s service plans.

  MARTA RESUMES SERVICE ON TUESDAY

 

MARTA BEGINS LIMITED SERVICE AT 7 A.M., INCREASES SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE DAY

 

ATLANTA—The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) will resume limited bus, paratransit and rail services on Tuesday, Sept. 12, beginning at 7 a.m. As weather conditions improve, all MARTA service will increase systemwide, the Agency announced today.

 

“By delaying the start of our service time, we are able to avoid the brunt of the severe conditions caused by Tropical Storm Irma. We anticipate resuming full bus and train service by midday,” said MARTA GM/CEO Keith Parker. “We will continue to monitor the weather conditions, evaluate our access to roadways and adjust our operations as needed.”

 

On Monday, MARTA’s rail operations team worked to clear debris and perform track maintenance while service was suspended. Beginning Tuesday morning, bus and rail supervisors will arrive early to reassess all routes and perform a thorough safety check of all buses, trains and MARTA facilities. 

 

MARTA customers are encouraged visit the MARTA website ( www.itsmarta.com) or call customer service at 404-848-5000 for updates regarding Tuesday’s bus, paratransit and rail services.
