Getting<br />

Around<br />

The communities of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Fulton</strong> are easily accessible via Interstate 285<br />

and Georgia 400, which means commuters can easily travel to and from<br />

downtown Atlanta, as well as to some of the other outlying counties. As<br />

of November 2013, drivers on Georgia 400 no longer have to pay a toll,<br />

making it a quick and easy way to get from Buckhead to <strong>North</strong> <strong>Fulton</strong>.<br />

The Perimeter area has quickly become one of the area’s busiest business<br />

hubs, making it easy for commuters all over the area to get to work. In<br />

addition to its road systems, the county also has two other unique<br />

transportation options for residents.<br />

MARTA<br />

(Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority)<br />

While most of MARTA’s stops are within the boundaries of the city of<br />

Atlanta, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Fulton</strong> also benefits from this bus and rail system. The<br />

Medical Center, Sandy Springs and <strong>North</strong> Springs rail stations help<br />

commuters access some of the largest businesses in the area, like<br />

Perimeter Mall and <strong>North</strong>side Hospital.<br />

GRTA<br />

(Georgia Regional Transportation Authority)<br />

GRTA was formed by former Gov. Roy Barnes to help address crosscommunity<br />

transportation issues. The authority now operates 13<br />

different Xpress bus routes that service 12 of the metro area’s counties.<br />

These routes accommodate more than 2 million passenger trips each<br />

year and provide access to some of the area’s major employment centers.<br />
