MARTA rail
Board at Airport Station, inside the Domestic Terminal between the North and South baggage claims. North Avenue is the first of the two stops. Discover Atlanta lists Georgia Tech, the Fox Theatre and The Collective Food Hall @ CODA there, with the Georgian Terrace, Crowne Plaza Atlanta Midtown, Hotel Indigo Atlanta Midtown and Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center. If you land at the International Terminal, MARTA's station is not there: ride the free International Terminal shuttle from the arrivals level to the Domestic Terminal baggage claim first (MARTA gives about 15 minutes and says it runs 24/7).
MARTA rail
Board at Airport Station, inside the Domestic Terminal between the North and South baggage claims. Midtown is the second stop. Discover Atlanta lists Georgia Tech, the Margaret Mitchell House and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta there, with Loews Atlanta Hotel, Residence Inn Atlanta Midtown/Georgia Tech, Moxy, AC Hotel, Hilton Garden Inn and Epicurean Atlanta. If you land at the International Terminal, MARTA's station is not there: ride the free International Terminal shuttle from the arrivals level to the Domestic Terminal baggage claim first (MARTA gives about 15 minutes and says it runs 24/7).
Taxi
Taxis load at Aisle A of the Ground Transportation Center: stalls A3 to A10 on ATL's ground transportation page, A3 to A12 on the airport's terminal map. At the International Terminal they load on the arrivals level outside door A1. Ask the driver for the fare before you get in.
Rideshare
Uber and Lyft pick up in the North Economy lot: go through North baggage claim to the escalators between doors N2 and N3, follow the orange signs, and request the ride only after you reach the pickup spot. ATL's ground transportation page words that spot as door LN1.
Good to know
- MARTA's line pages and station list do not name the campus, and Discover Atlanta does not say which stop is closer to a given building. Use the address of your hotel, lab or event. A wrong guess costs one stop.
