Runs metro Atlanta's heavy rail network and light rail loop, replacing fleet with Stadler cars.

About this buyer

Runs metro Atlanta's heavy rail network — 47.6 miles of double track and 38 stations scheduled for 25.7 million revenue car miles in fiscal year 2027, a 294-car fleet being replaced by 334 Stadler CQ400 cars, and a 2.7-mile, 12-stop streetcar loop — and is the only Georgia body that publishes rail contract values above this file's floor — the state transport department publishes programme awards rather than rail construction contracts, and the ports authority publishes no value for anything it buys. Its FY2027 capital programme carries $1.521bn of sources against $919.8m of programmed uses across three capital programmes: State of Good Repair, More MARTA City of Atlanta and More MARTA Clayton County.
