MARTA just released this statement to the media:

With the threat of hazardous road conditions in metro Atlanta tomorrow, MARTA plans to cancel all bus and Mobility (paratransit) service on Wednesday to ensure the safety of customers, employees and the general public. MARTA’s rail system will continue to operate, but on a weekend schedule.

Rail service will begin at 4:35 a.m. with trains running approximately every 15 minutes on all lines until about 2 a.m. on Thursday. MARTA is asking rail customers to exercise patience and plan extra time to complete their trips. Depending on prevailing conditions, MARTA’s rail schedule is also subject to change.

“Safety will always be our first and foremost priority,” said Keith T. Parker, MARTA’s GM/CEO.  “Until weather conditions improve, we’ll continue to provide as much rail service as we possibly can and restore bus and Mobility service as soon as it’s feasible.”
