Biking with MARTA
The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) just made commuting easier for bike enthusiasts with the installation of new bike racks and repair stands at 37 train stations. In a move to improve first and last mile connectivity, the Authority installed the new kiosks to enhance
station amenities to better accommodate those biking to and from various rail stations. Each biking kiosk is equipped with newly installed bike racks, fix-it stands and tire pumps, making way for nearly 500 bikes to be parked throughout the system at any given time.
MARTA has also partnered with the City of Atlanta Relay Bikes. Relay Bikes has expand their program to include 500 bikes at 65 different locations around the city with some sites right next a MARTA Station. You can find Relay Bike stands near the Arts Center, Civic Center, Inman
Park/Reynoldstown, King Memorial, Peachtree Center, West End, North Avenue and Midtown MARTA stations. This program will offer our customers an added benefit that promotes health and exercise while getting them to their destinations.
MARTA’s Relay Bike Ride with the City of Atlanta
To launch the partnership between MARTA & Relay Bikes, on July 14, 2017 MARTA hosted a bike ride with the City of Atlanta's Planning Department to demonstrate the ease of use between riding MARA and transferring to a Relay Bike.
Representatives from MARTA, the City of Atlanta and Colony Square rode from the Colony Square Relay Bike hub to the Arts Center MARTA Station Relay Bike hub! To learn more about how to ride a Relay Bike, visit their website at:
