As part of the deal, Intersection will also deploy 200 new digital advertising screens across the MARTA system, creating a new digital network capable of driving additional revenue for the transit agency. Through Intersection’s communications platform, IxNConnect, these screens will provide riders with access to real-time information such as transit times, alerts, nearby points of interest, and more, while MARTA will be able to manage and maintain its digital assets systemwide.

“Home to some of the country’s top sports teams, world-renowned dining, and a job market that’s attracting young professionals and Fortune 500 companies alike, Atlanta has quickly become a bustling market ideal for advertisers to reach a large, diverse audience.” said Scott Goldsmith, President and COO at Intersection. “We look forward to working closely with the MARTA team to bring new advertising opportunities to the city of Atlanta.”
