How Perimeter Employees Save Money & Avoid Traffic
Work is already the longest part of your day. Why should the commute make it even more taxing?
More and more Atlanta companies are investing in transit pass programs for their employees. By taking advantage of this benefit, you can save money, time, and stress on your way to work.
Bye-bye, car costs
Commute costs can add up, and no one really loves spending hard-earned money on their way to work. Switching to MARTA bus or rail can make all the difference in your budget. With a transit pass program, you’ll save even more: your company might provide discounted or free transit passes. That means instead of paying gas, car maintenance, and parking fees, you’ll pay a little—or even nothing—to get to work.
Don’t need to worry about getting around: Perimeter has a bustling transit network, including the Medical Center, Dunwoody, and Sandy Springs MARTA stations, bus routes, and 15 free shuttles that’ll get you from the MARTA stations to offices and retail all around.
If you live in Alpharetta, Roswell, or intown Atlanta, MARTA can get you to your destination. If you live further away, consider parking at a MARTA station: parking is free for up to 24 hours, it’s right off the highway, and it’ll reduce the time you spend sitting at red lights on your way to the office. Plus, with a company-provided transit pass, you’ll still save money!
Take your free time back
The bad news: Metro Atlanta ranks as the 12th worst city in the U.S. in terms of traffic. Commuters spend an average of 74 hours per year sitting in traffic, just getting to their job.
The good news: Using your company’s transit pass can get you that time back.
Even if a transit trip takes as long as your driving commute, it puts free time back in your day.
Instead of battling traffic, you can relax, catch up on the news, read, or even get started on work. It’s not uncommon for transit riders to feel less tired and more productive at the start of their day. Taking transit home also builds in a break between work and the rest of your day, allowing you to decompress and get back refreshed.
Help Atlanta breathe easier
In the air around metro Atlanta, car emissions account for 71% of airborne lead, 67% of nitrogen dioxide, and 57% of carbon dioxide. Any reduction in car trips improves the air quality in your city—why not use transit to lower your carbon footprint?
