As part of the Student Innovation Fellowship, 5 students, Amber J Boll, Nicole Ryerson, Shakib Ahmed, Alexandra Orrego, and Wasfi Momen, collected historical proposals for the MARTA system at various points in history. They gathered data about the MARTA train line, the streetcar, and the beltline and turned this information into geospatial data and created Tracing a History of Atlanta’s Public Transit, which clearly shows MARTA’s far-reaching intentions.
