MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority)

In recognition of #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, MARTA’s Department of Information Security brought team members, industry experts, and technology partners together at MARTA Headquarters to highlight the importance of protecting our systems, data, and communities. Hosted in collaboration with Palo Alto Networks and CDW, the evening featured insightful discussions on emerging cybersecurity threats, operational resilience, and the power of partnership in building a stronger security culture. Thank you to our partners and everyone who joined us for an evening of learning, collaboration, and connection. Together, we’re working toward a safer, stronger, more connected Atlanta. #MARTA #Cybersecurity #InformationSecurity

Public transit connects more than destinations. It connects people to culture, community and opportunity. MARTA’s Ride with Respect campaign continues to celebrate the people and stories that make Atlanta unique. In our latest collaboration, Atlanta hip-hop historian and cultural ambassador NuFace shares how MARTA became part of his everyday life and how his experience is inspiring others to try public transit for the first time. Building on previous collaborations with Big Boi and David Banner, the campaign uses cultural storytelling to promote civic pride, encourage mutual respect and highlight the role public transportation plays in connecting our region.

MARTA hosted LEAD Atlanta’s “Amazing Race” immersive experience hosted at MARTA HQ. The professionals walked in the shoes of our patrons by riding MARTA to different destinations, experiencing firsthand how vital public transit is to our community.

MARTA was proud to be at the latest Atlanta Streets Alive event, in partnership with Atlanta Department of Transportation. MARTA staff welcomed the public as they walked, rode, and rolled from West End to Grant Park - highlighting all of MARTA’s exciting programming and projects while showcasing our new 60-foot articulated RAPID bus!
