ATLANTA — With multiple projects underway for repair, redesign and improvement, MARTA launched a new tool to help track the progress of what it says is a “sweepoing program of capital projects.”
The Project Snapshot Tool gives basics on timelines, budgeting and spending on the various projects in MARTA’s Capital Improvement Program, a 10-year plan approved annually by the agency’s Board of Directors.
According to MARTA, the projects are searchable online in each of the agency’s jurisdictions, which are the City of Atlanta and Clayton, DeKalb and Fulton counties.
