Long-term parking decks at the Dunwoody, Medical Center, Lenox, and Lindbergh MARTA stations will reopen on Oct. 7 after new payment system installations.

Doraville’s parking deck is under construction with its opening expected later in October, according to a press release.

Visitors to the parking decks will see new entry and exit gates, ticket dispensers, payment machines, and license-plate recognition cameras.

Upon entering the deck, customers should take the dispensed ticket with them after parking. Fees can be paid on foot before exiting by using cash or credit/debit cards at new kiosks near the station entrances.

Parking rates at Dunwoody, Medical Center, and Lenox will be free for the first 24 hours, then $5 a day. Lindbergh will be free for 24 hours, then $8 per day after that.

MARTA plans construction on a rolling schedule at North Springs, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, College Park, and Kensington, with an estimated completion date in April 2025. Visit MARTA online for updates.

Temporary detours may occur at some stations during construction.
