MARTA’s on-demand “first-mile, last-mile” solution officially debuts with free rides through March.

Atlanta, Georgia – This Saturday, March 7, MARTA officially takes the training wheels off. MARTA Reach is launching as a permanent, on-demand service across 12 zones in the metro area. Whether you’re in East Point, West Atlanta, or right back in Belvedere, your “first-mile, last-mile” solution is now just a tap away.

What’s the catch? There isn’t one—in fact, it’s FREE for the first three weeks.

While Ride Gwinnett has been holding down the on-demand game since 2024, MARTA is now stepping up to bridge the gap for ATL residents. We’ve got the history of the pilot, the new 2026 service maps, and the direct download links for your phone inside.
