(AJC) — MARTA will receive $19.7 million in federal grants, to help upgrade parts of its bus system that are deteriorating, according to the Federal Transit Administration.
As part of $776 million nationwide in federal grants announced Monday to help bring bus systems back into a state of good repair, MARTA was awarded $18.3 million to replace its Brady Mobility Facility.
