From carpooling to transit, multiple commute options are available for metro Atlanta’s commuters. With so many options, most are still opting to drive alone- what’s holding you back from switching your commute?
“My post-work schedule is inconsistent and unpredictable, but I want a consistent commute option.”
“My home or my workplace isn’t located near a transit or MARTA station.”
“I have early-morning or late-afternoon meetings, so my unusual schedule makes it difficult to carpool.”
“I don’t know anyone living near me who could ride with me to work.”
If any of the above sound like an issue for your commute, we have you covered. Multiple commute options are available for you to use – and we can help find the best option for you.
Biking or walking – More than 25 percent of all car trips are less than a mile. Choose human-powered commuting to squeeze in exercise on your way to and from work. And if you’re new to biking, we can help you get started.
Carpooling – Even carpooling just a few days a week can help improve congestion on metro Atlanta’s roads. A colleague who has a similar schedule as yours for one to two days each week can be a great carpool partner. Need help finding a partner? Our ridematching serviceconnects more than 50,000 potential carpoolers interested in sharing the ride. And if an unexpected event comes up forcing you to leave work early or late and miss your carpool, our Guaranteed Ride Home program offers up to five free rides home.
Transit – There’s more than just MARTA around metro Atlanta. Xpress, Cobb LINC and Gwinnett County Transit are all options that can get you to your workplace. And while using transit, you can reduce stress by reading, listening to music or getting a bit of work in, rather than sitting in traffic.
With multiple commute options available in metro Atlanta, more commuters can find an option that works with their schedule and lifestyle. Find an option that works for you.
