The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) has filed an application to construct a rapid transit system which will include 9 miles of subway, 16 miles of elevated rail and 25 miles of surface rail. In addition, there will be 14 miles of new exclusive busway. Adverse environmental impacts for this project include community disruption, family and business displacement and relocation, land use changes, traffic intrusions, severance of neighborhoods, noise, and visual intrusions. Beneficial effects will be improvements in mass transportation for the area, especially for the disadvantaged poor, the elderly, and the handicapped; and reduction in traffic congestion.
