Commute Incentives
It costs the average commuter around $16 a day to drive alone to and from work – and that’s before tolls and parking are factored in. That adds up to thousands of dollars a year. Georgia Commute Options offers incentives to commuters who are already carpooling, taking transit, riding in a vanpool, teleworking, bicycling or walking to work and doing a compressed workweek.
Commuter Prizes
Each time a commuter logs a clean commute trip (carpool, vanpool, transit, telework, bike, walk, compressed work week), they’re entered to win a $25 prize in a random monthly drawing.
Gimme $5
Commuters can get $5 a day — up to $150 — for trying a new commute to work. What kind of commute? It’s gotta be an alternative to driving alone. Carpooling, vanpooling, transit, telework, walking and biking are all eligible. And the best part is that these “clean” commutes won’t just earn commuters $5 a day — they’ll also save you hundreds per year on gas and commute costs!
To be eligible, commuters must:
- Currently drive alone to work.
- Never participated in the $3 a Day program.
- Live or work in one of the following counties?: Barrow, Bartow, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton, Paulding, Rockdale, Spalding, Walton
- Try a clean commute mode like carpooling, vanpooling, riding transit, teleworking, bicycling or walking to and from work.
- Provide a physical home or work address (not a P.O. box).
What do they get? Those who answered “Yes” to the questions above can earn $5 a each day they use a clean commute, up to $150, over an assigned 90-day period. When they create an account with Georgia Commute Options, every alternative commute they log can help them earn cash and prizes. If they need someone to share the ride with, we can help you find a ridematch too. Get started by having them create an account now.
