We love to reward our clean commuters, and this year we launched the Atlanta Experience drawing, an exciting new way to use your MyGCO points (yep, if you haven’t heard the point system is back!) for a chance to win unique monthly prizes. Each month, users can submit 50 points to enter, and prizes range from sporting tickets to one-of-a-kind experiences around Atlanta.
Since February, we’ve awarded multiple Atlanta Experiences to MyGCO users. We talked to two recent winners about their MyGCO experience and winning this new prize.
Meet Charmaine: Braves Game Winner
Charmaine, a long-time MyGCO user for over 10 years, was one of the first winners of the new Atlanta Experience drawing. She works with the General Services Administration in Atlanta and says she was introduced to MyGCO by a former director. “I’ve been logging my commute ever since,” she shared.
While Charmaine primarily teleworks, that’s about to change: “I normally telework, but that will be coming to an end soon. So I will resume using transit.” And her commitment to logging is already paying off. In April, she won two tickets to see the Braves play the Miami Marlins, plus a $25 prize drawing.
“At first I thought the email was an April Fools’ joke,” she said. “Then I kept reading and realized it was real!” It was only her second time ever going to a Braves game, and despite the loss, she had a great time. “I couldn’t have asked for more. I’m so appreciative of winning the tickets.”
Her advice to those not taking advantage of the MyGCO platform? “They don’t know what they’re missing out on.”
Meet Julia: Macbeth Winner
Julia, who works for Georgia Department of Transportation, joined MyGCO in December 2024 and has already checked a major item off her bucket list, attending the opera. By logging her clean commutes, she won two tickets to see Macbeth at the Cobb Energy Centre in March.
She commutes from West Georgia using the Xpress bus, which she discovered through coworkers. “I love having the Xpress bus as an option,” she said. “Even though it takes a little longer, it’s worth it to avoid the stress of driving in traffic a few days a week.”
Julia says she’s saving money on gas and wear-and-tear on her car, and the added perks from MyGCO are a big plus. “I already feel like I’m rewarding myself just by riding the bus. Winning opera tickets was the cherry on top.”
She described attending the opera as an unforgettable day. “Attending an opera has always been a bucket list item, and thanks to Georgia Commute Options, I can now claim this experience as done!”
