Welcome to the Website of the
Georgia Regional Transportation Authority.

GRTA (pronounced gret-a) is the State of Georgia authority working to improve Georgia's mobility, air quality, and land use practices. The governor and legislature created GRTA as a catalyst to move the Atlanta region forward.
