Clifton Corridor

The proposed route stretches from: MARTA selected light rail as the preferred mode for the corridor in 2012.

[1] A local rail service along the Clifton Corridor was envisioned as early as 1961, when the line was included on maps for a potential regional transportation system.

By the summer of 2018, MARTA updated the Clifton Corridor fact sheet with Alternative 6 shown as the selected routing split into two phases.

At that time, MARTA estimated construction of first phase from Lindburgh to North Decatur / Clairmont to begin in 2022 and be complete and operational by 2026.

[7][8] By February 2023, MARTA had eliminated the light rail option and was proceeding to plan a bus rapid transit line along the corridor.
