As part of its long‑term strategy to modernize fleet management and improve operational efficiency, MARTA advanced the development of a new Multipurpose Operations and Maintenance Facility (OMF) to support bus, mobility and support‑vehicle operations. The facility consolidates multiple functions into one coordinated campus, improving maintenance workflows, reducing operational costs and supporting the agency’s growing mobility needs. STV provided key advisory, planning and design support to help MARTA deliver a durable, efficient, and future‑ready complex.
What challenges did STV address?
MARTA required a flexible, multi‑use facility capable of supporting a diverse fleet, including fixed‑route buses, paratransit vehicles, non‑revenue service vehicles and administrative functions. The challenge was designing a campus that optimized circulation, maintenance operations, and staff workflow within a constrained footprint, while also meeting long‑term sustainability, safety and resilience goals.
What solutions did STV deliver?
STV supported planning, design and engineering for the multipurpose complex, helping MARTA optimize site layout, vehicle circulation and maintenance operations. The team provided architectural and engineering guidance, facility programming, and infrastructure planning to ensure the OMF could support MARTA’s current and future fleet needs. STV’s work helped integrate maintenance bays, operations areas, fueling, wash systems, administrative offices and storage functions into one efficient campus.
How does this project benefit the region?
The new OMF strengthens MARTA’s operational resilience and creates a more reliable, efficient transit system for Atlanta‑area riders. By centralizing operations and modernizing maintenance capabilities, the facility helps reduce downtime, improve fleet availability and support more sustainable mobility options – ensuring MARTA can continue to serve communities across the region with dependable, high‑quality transit service.
