Walk, Drive, MARTA: Spring into Better Commuting

Walk, Drive, MARTA…What do you do? 

I know its freezing cold outside, but Spring is literally around the corner. Atlanta is about to get warmer and prettier very quickly. It’s time to update your commute to work.

Walk: We advise that you bring a change pair of clothes if you prefer a more high-intensity jog. Your office will thank you. Not interested in jogging, join us for buckheadWALKS!  From May 1st to 31st, Buckhead residents and commuters are challenged to see how many points they can earn as they get around town on two feet. You can participate on your own, or as part of a corporate team.

Drive: Does a sitting in alone traffic really bring you joy? Try carpooling with your neighbor. At least you can have a car buddy and earn some money. Join ’Pool Perks, the two-person carpool program from Livable Buckhead and earn gas cards each month.

Transit: MARTA runs every day and all year long. Need help planning your route? We can help with that. Spring into the season and Try Transit. Try Transit is a week-long initiative encouraging commuters to try one of the many transit options around the metro area. To get you started, we’ll give you a free ten-trip pass for MARTA. Coming from Cobb County? How about free 10-trip pass on Xpress?

Bike: It’s multi-functional – a way to get to work and exercise. Don’t have a bike? Find Relay Station near you and get started already.

What do you do?

Go outside.

Starting your day with a light exercise like biking to work or walking to MARTA can start your day off on the right foot. It’s relaxing and you get to experience all the blooming plants, the morning dew, and the warm sun. Have to take the kids to school? Make it a family affair! Everyone needs daily activity and the kids will enjoy all the pretty flowers. Happy Commuting!
