The CLIFTON CORRIDOR TRANSIT INITIATIVE is a planned light rail line linking MARTA’s Lindbergh Center Station (Red and Gold Lines) with Avondale Station (Blue line). This service proposes to provide high-capacity transit service with competitive travel times along the Clifton Corridor, which includes: Emory University, Emory Hospital, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Children’s Healthcare, DeKalb Medical Center and the Veteran’s Administration Hospital. The initiative has entered the official federal environmental process with the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
