Public Transportation

MARTA’s rail does not venture into Cobb County but CobbLinc’s transit system includes two transfer centers, Express routes, and six park-and-ride lot locations throughout Cobb County.

Walking and Biking

Due to the huge popularity of the Silver Comet Trail, the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area trails and the increasing need to find transportation alternatives, Cobb County has developed an extensive program to develop additional trails.
