Case Study: MARTA improves operational efficiency by 70% with Trapeze Group EAM

How Smart Maintenance Helped Lynx Reach their Goals

Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) turned to **Trapeze Group** to replace its legacy “green screened” mainframe asset and maintenance system. MARTA needed better reporting across departments, improved labor, project and warranty tracking, stronger identification of high-cost parts, better rail track inspection, and more advanced analytics across its bus, rail, paratransit, and maintenance operations.

Using **Trapeze Group’s EAM** platform, MARTA unified fleet, rail, stationary, and linear asset management in one system, with mobile handheld tools for inspectors and maintenance staff plus automated reporting and ERP integration. The results were significant: operational efficiency improved by **70%**, MARTA could account for **98% of labor paid out**, and automated track geometry and work-order processes saved an estimated **70%** of the time previously required for that task.
