- Description:
- View of members of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus and the Atlanta Coalition meeting with officials of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), including MARTA General Manager Alan Kiepper (far right), MARTA board member John Wright (second from right), and MARTA board member Charles Reynolds (foreground, third from right), to discuss issues of overall transporation service and black employment by the transit authority, in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is the principle rapid transit system for the city of Atlanta, and outlying counties. MARTA was established in 1965 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly. In 1972 MARTA purchased the Atlanta Transit System and took control of the area's bus transportation. Construction began on a rapid rail system in 1975 with the first rail service commencing in 1979. - Local Identifier:
