Points of interest in those zones include the mixed-use Avalon district, downtown Alpharetta, Georgia State University’s Alpharetta Campus, and on the flipside of the city, Clayton State University, Southern Regional Hospital, and Southlake Mall. The other expansions will be activated May 30, according to MARTA. On Monday, the Dixie Hills and Belvedere expansions are expected to go live, providing new on-demand connections to MARTA’s West Lake and Bankhead stations with the former and Kensington station with the latter. It’s scheduled to run for six months, ending August 31. The program’s three initial zones- West Atlanta (residential), Belvedere (mixed-use), and Gillem Logistics Center (industrial)-began operations across the city March 1. The pilot’s ITP operations will also be expanded into Avondale Estates and Westside neighborhood Dixie Hills. Using app-based shuttle services, MARTA Reach will grow this month into north Fulton and Clayton counties, branching into the cities of Alpharetta, Forest Park, Morrow, and Roswell. MARTA officials and their partners at Georgia Tech on Monday announced an expansion of the six-month, pilot rideshare service that’s designed to enhance connectivity to and from bus and rail stations and, in turn, grow the agency’s ridership base. Now the reach of, well, MARTA Reach is set to significantly expand. If reader input, strong App Store ratings, and anecdotal stories from the grapevine are any indication, MARTA’s rideshare experiment has been a pleasant and handy addition to public transit around Atlanta so far.
