Project Overview 

MARTA is replacing its current outdated fare collection system with a modern, reliable, and customer-focused system that will be faster and easier to use. This major investment in state-of-the-art technology will prioritize equity and regional mobility to prepare Atlanta for the future.  

The new Breeze system will feature: 

  • New fare gates: Every rail station will be faster and more secure to help you get to your destination faster.  
  • Open payments: Tap your credit card or phone and go – no need to wait at a ticket vending machines to buy a Breeze card. 
  • New, reliable ticket vending machines: Faster and simpler to use.  
  • Bus and mobility vehicles: Will have new validators that accept all forms of payment.  
  • Retail options: Breeze cards will be available at retail locations throughout the Atlanta region.
