MARTA starts $10.8 million solar project

MARTA will add solar panels to cover the 220 bus parking stalls at the transit agency’s bus maintenance facility in Decatur, Ga. Panels will be equipped with LED light fixtures that provide enough lighting for safety and maintenance activities at night, reports Fox 5-Atlanta.


The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority announced the project Friday in advance of Earth Day on Friday.

The project is funded by a federal grant and is the second largest structure of its kind at a U.S. transit system.
