Description

The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) awarded Stadler Signaling North America a $500 million contract to equip its rapid transit network with Stadler’s NOVA Pro Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) technology. The project involves replacing the current signaling system within eight years, deploying engineer-assisted automatic train operation (ATO), and equipping vehicles at Stadler's Salt Lake City plant. The trackside equipment will be installed, tested, and commissioned on the MARTA network, allowing a smooth transition from the legacy system to the new CBTC system without operational interruptions.
