Atlanta, Jan 15, 2022 – MARTA General Manager & CEO Jeff Parker died after being hit by a MARTA train last night at Eastlake Station.

Several witnesses said Parker, 55 walked in front of a MARTA train at around 10:30 pm.

Rita Scott, MARTA Chairwoman of Board of Directors released a statement on Parker's passing:

“The MARTA Board of Directors grieves the shocking death of our GM/CEO Jeff Parker who has died by suicide. He was an outstanding leader and steward of MARTA whose passing leaves us all heartbroken.

AD: High Museum of Atlanta

As Chairwoman and on behalf of my fellow MARTA board members, we are devastated at this loss as we valued Jeff’s leadership and looked forward to him bringing his vision for transit to fruition. The entire metro Atlanta region owes him a debt of gratitude for his transformational efforts and we will not stop working to build on the foundation he created.

As we struggle to understand the complexity of this tragedy, we grieve with and for his wife Erin, his daughters and all of Jeff’s family and friends as well as his MARTA family. As we continue to grieve, we want you to know that suicide is preventable and help is available to you.

For access to services and immediate crisis help, call the Georgia Crisis & Access Line (GCAL) at 1-800-715-4225, available 24/7.”
