Commute Plan: Powder Springs

If you live in Powder Springs, there are several options to make your commute to Buckhead easier.

A single occupancy car ride takes approximately 62 minutes to get to the Buckhead Business District in traffic.

Transit:

Taking MARTA to work can keep you out of traffic. The most ideal station is the Hamilton E. Holmes Station. This station has 1,436 free daily parking spots. From this station, one would take the Blue Line to the Five Points Station and transfer to the Red Line to ride to the Buckhead Station. This commute would take approximately 36 minutes. Taking MARTA would allow productivity on the train. For a limited time, you may be eligible to try transit for free.

Another option would be to take Xpress to MARTA. The park and ride locations that would be most ideal to use would be Powder Springs. This Park and Ride is serviced by the 476 Xpress Bus to take you to the North Avenue MARTA station. From here, it is a short ride to Buckhead Business District.

Carpool:

Carpooling can help you save time, money and vehicle wear and tear while sharing the driving duties. It only takes two or more commuters riding in a personal vehicle to form a carpool. Livable Buckhead offers ride matching services, as well as incentives to help you share the ride.
