PROJECT OVERVIEW

As MARTA expands its suite of bus and rapid transit services, there is a need to develop design standards for roll-out and development

  • f new modes:

» Arterial Rapid Transit (ART) - HNTB » Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) - HNTB » Freeway BRT (FBRT) - WSP

Project Scope:

  • High-level Service

Standards for ART & BRT

  • perations
  • Runningway Standards
  • Station Standards
  • Bus Depot Impacts

BACKGROUND

  • MARTA ART Defjnition*

» “... fast and frequent enhanced transit routes on existing high density, mixed-use arterial corridors... short headway, transit signal priority, queue jumps and enhanced stops.”

  • MARTA BRT Defjnition*

» “... fjxed-route bus mode operating in a dedicated right-of-way during peak periods, emulates rail through defjned stations, traffjc signal priority, short headways, bidirectional services, pre-board ticketing, platform level boarding, and separate branding...”

* More MARTA Service Types Matrix

  • Net-positive environmental impact
  • Achieve new cost savings
  • Green Infrastructure
  • Build off existing MARTA brand
  • Customized station/mode brand
  • Limited advertising
  • Separate system brand
  • Customized station branding
  • No or limited advertising
  • Far-side, curb-aligning stations
  • Curb-level/near-level platform height
  • Enhanced stations
  • Corridor-dependent: Far-side, curb & median-aligning
  • Larger, raised platforms
  • Enhanced stations
  • Corridor-Specifjc decision: median-running or curb-running
  • Dedicated lanes (at least 50%)
  • TSP throughout alignment
  • Listed below is preliminary guidance from the fjrst Internal MARTA Workshop

which will inform the development of characteristics for each service.
