How Commuting Data Paved the Way for MARTA to Expand Its Reach at Gillem Logistics CenterĪs one of three service zones for the pilot’s rollout, Gillem Logistics Center provides a unique testing ground for the Reach pilot. The aim is to reduce commuting times and walking distances between destinations. The goal is simple: Make transit an easier and faster option for metro Atlantans through a mobile app where they can request a ride. In each zone, the pilot will test how on-demand shuttles can expand the MARTA system’s reach. As part of the pilot, the project focuses on three zones representing different ridership needs: distribution hub Gillem Logistics Center, mixed-use community Belvedere and residential neighborhood West Atlanta. On March 1, MARTA and Georgia Tech launched a six-month pilot of MARTA Reach, an on-demand ridesharing service designed to close the first-and-last mile transportation gap for transit riders. A new collaboration from MARTA and Georgia Tech is tackling this problem head-on with an innovative solution that puts destinations within close reach of transit riders. Gillem Logistics Center is among first to test drive the on-demand rideshare service from MARTA, Georgia Techįor many metro Atlantans, getting to or from a bus stop or transit station can be challenging, especially if you do not live or work immediately near one.
