If you park at a MARTA station for more than a few hours, your next trip could cost you more. MARTA is raising long term parking rates by $2 per day beginning September 14, 2026. The agency is also cutting the free parking window from 24 hours to 14 hours at affected facilities. (MARTA)
For Atlanta commuters, the change could affect how they plan their daily trips. It could also matter to travelers who park at MARTA before heading to the airport. The good news is that regular MARTA fares are not changing. Free daily parking locations also remain unaffected. (MARTA)
What Is Changing at MARTA Parking Lots?
The new rates will apply to nine paid long term parking locations. Four stations will charge $10 per day after 14 hours. Those stations are College Park, Doraville, Lindbergh Center, and North Springs. Five other stations will charge $7 per day after 14 hours. Those stations include Dunwoody, Kensington, Lenox, Medical Center, and Sandy Springs. (MARTA)
The change is significant for people who leave their cars overnight. The current rates are $5 or $8 per day, depending on the station. Starting September 14, those rates will rise to $7 or $10. The free parking period will also drop from 24 hours to 14 hours. (MARTA)…
