If you would like to obtain a Cliff Permit , you will need to register your vehicle with the Parking Office. You will need to bring your driver's license and vehicle registration to the Parking Office to obtain your Cliff Permit and decal.

How to Pick Up Your MARTA TransCard

Employees may pick up their monthly transcard at the Parking Office starting on the 20th of each month. Transcards must be picked up by the 7th calendar day of the month designated. When picking up a MARTA transcard each participant must:

1. Present an Emory University/Emory University Hospital/Emory Clinic photo ID.

2. Sign the transcard.

3. Sign the Receipt of Transcard sheet.

NOTE: If MARTA transcard participants fail to pick up their card by the 7th of the month, they will forfeit their subsidized MARTA transcard for that month. They may purchase a monthly transcard or weekly transcards, at their own expense, at the Parking Office. If you know in advance, that you will be unable to get your card during this time, you may contact the Parking Office to make other arrangements.

After Relinquishing Hang Tag

Prorated refunds will be issued for hang tags paid in full or payroll deductions will be canceled. New participants in the MARTA transcard program may continue to pick up weekly MARTA transcards, if applicable, until their first monthly transcard becomes effective.

Should a MARTA transcard participant's card be stolen, a free replacement card can be issued upon submission of a police report within 72 hours of incident. A malfunctioning card can be replaced free of charge when returned to the Parking Office or to one of the following MARTA Ridestore locations: Airport, Five Points, Lenox, and Lindbergh.
