January Is the Time to Track How You Get to Work
Start the New Year Strong with Georgia Commute Options: A new year brings a renewed focus on smart habits, personal responsibility, and practical solutions that work. January is the ideal time for employees and employers in Buckhead to take advantage of Georgia Commute Options (GCO), a free program that rewards commuters for choosing alternative ways to get to work.
Whether you walk, bike, take transit, carpool, and/or telework, logging your trips through GCO provides users with their impact of everyday commute choices while also receiving incentives.
Why Georgia Commute Options Matters: Georgia Commute Options helps reduce congestion, improve employee reliability, and manage transportation costs without mandates or one‑size‑fits‑all solutions. For commuters, GCO provides a free platform to track commutes, measure progress, and earn rewards for choices many are already making.
By participating, Buckhead commuters are contributing to:
- Reduced traffic congestion on our busiest corridors
- More predictable and efficient commutes
- Smarter use of existing transportation infrastructure
January Incentives: Log Trips, Earn Rewards: To kick off 2026, Georgia Commute Options is offering special January prize drawings for commuters who log their alternative trips in your GCO account. Participants will be entered for a chance to win:
- Two tickets to Duel Reality at Alliance Theatre
- Two tickets to the Atlanta Hawks vs. Brooklyn Nets
- Two tickets to the Candlelight: Valentine’s Day Special Concert
- Two tickets to the Atlanta History Center
Additional prize drawings, including $25 rewards, are also available throughout the month to commuters.
Take Action This January: If you don’t yet have a GCO account, January is the perfect time to get started. If you already have one, make logging your commutes part of your weekly routine. It’s a small action that delivers real value for you, and Buckhead as a whole.
Livable Buckhead encourages all local employers and commuters to take advantage of Georgia Commute Options.
