MARTA began phase one of the Five Points Transformation on May 17, 2025.
This project will revitalize Five Points Station into a vibrant city center with improved transit connectivity, increased safety, and enhanced customer amenities. The first phase of the project includes the deconstruction and removal of the concrete canopy.
Safely deconstructing the existing concrete canopy will require several changes to the way MARTA customers use the station to access buses, trains, and customer services. These changes are detailed below:

Project Impact
The first phase of the project includes the demolition and removal of the concrete canopy. Future phases include building a new canopy, improving the centralized bus hub and pedestrian connection on Broad Street, and incorporating community spaces, public art, and agriculture.
The Five Points Transformation Project will have a direct impact for those customers currently using MARTA and will make transit a more attractive choice for those who live nearby. Encouraging use of public transit to destinations surrounding Five Points reduces the need for surface parking downtown, allowing spaces to be redeveloped as affordable housing, green spaces, and other amenities that improve quality of life and enhance a city landscape.

Project Funding
The project will cost approximately $230 million and is funded through the More MARTA Atlanta half-penny sales tax, with $13.8 million from the state of Georgia, and a $25 million Federal RAISE Grant, with remaining support from the MARTA core penny.
