MARTA announces increase for long-term parking rates

by Rough Draft Staff

MARTA is increasing its long-term parking rates by $2 a day and reducing the free period in its paid parking facilities from 24 hours to 14 hours beginning Sept. 14.

The move affects all paid long-term parking locations in the system but does not affect any of MARTA’s existing free daily parking locations.

According to a statement from the transit agency, the increase supports maintenance and future upgrades to parking facilities, follows market conditions, and moves MARTA’s parking operation toward self-sufficiency.

Stations increasing to $10 per day (after 14 hours):

College Park
Doraville
Lindbergh
North Springs

Stations increasing to $7 per day (after 14 hours):

Dunwoody
Kensington
Lenox
Medical Center
Sandy Springs

New parking rates are expected to generate an estimated additional $500,000 of annual operating revenue. MARTA’s last system-wide increase in parking fees was in 2009.
