MARTA to lay off more than 300 employees
Next month, MARTA plans to lay off 371 employees. In the announcement posted on a state website, the positions will be cut from the transit agency's payroll and it will go into effect March 25.
Affected employees are part of MARTA's paratransit service.
As part of a cost-cutting plan over the last few years, MARTA has outsourced many functions. The changes have made a difference in lifting the agency from a budget deficit and putting them into a healthier surplus.
