The Engagement and Outreach Unit is dedicated to building meaningful connections between the Authority, its employees, and the community it serves. Through strategic communication, outreach events, and collaborative partnerships, the unit fosters awareness, encourages participation, and ensures voices are heard
to cultivate trust, inclusivity, and long-lasting relationships that support the Authority’s vision, mission, and strategic priorities.
Employee Resource Groups
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are programs within the Department of Corporate Compliance and Engagement where groups of staff members who have common interests and/or face common issues can come together to support each other, build community, share concerns, and identify solutions to further the mission,
vision, and values of MARTA. Allyship is encouraged and supported.
ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups whose aim is to foster an inclusive workplace aligned with the organizational goals, business practices, and objectives.
