Alternative Commute Modes or Clean Commutes: Alternatives to
driving alone to work in a motorized vehicle including:
•
Carpooling
•
Vanpooling
•
Bicycling
•
Walking
•
Riding Transit
•
(many employers consider Teleworking a Clean Commute since it can
eliminate a commute altogether)
Commute Log - Form that commuters access on the Internet
to record their daily commutes.
Cash for Commuters - an incentive program that rewards
commuters (who have been driving alone to work) when they switch to using one
or more commute alternatives. By carpooling, teleworking, taking transit,
biking or walking, participants can earn $3 per day, up to $100 over three
months.
Commuter Prizes - an incentive program that offers commuters
the chance to win monthly prizes ranging in value from $25 to $100, when they
report their use of clean commute modes including carpooling, vanpooling,
teleworking, taking transit, biking or walking. The more often a participant
uses a clean commute mode to get to work, the better his/her chances of
winning.
Carpool Rewards -an incentive
program that rewards carpools with three or more people with monthly gas cards
when they log enough carpool trips during a month. Each carpool can win up to 12
gas cards (12 months) during a 3-year period. Three-person carpools can earn $40
gas cards monthly (up to $480 over 36 months); four-or more-person carpools can
earn $60 gas cards monthly (up to $720 over 36 months).

About the Perimeter Transportation Coalition: The Perimeter Transportation Coalition (PTC) is a Transportation Management Association that works with the Central Perimeter business community and governing bodies to reduce traffic congestion and improve business productivity. PTC assists with transportation initiatives like carpools, vanpools, transit, cycling and pedestrian mobility, as well as alternative work arrangements and developer site-design considerations, such as sidewalks, transit orientations and more.

About The Clean Air Campaign:
The mission of The Clean Air Campaign is to motivate Georgians to take action
to improve air quality and reduce traffic congestion. To accomplish this
mission, The Clean Air Campaign offers a variety of voluntary programs and
services, including free employer assistance, public information and children's
education. We focus on both congestion and air quality because they are linked
- vehicle emissions contribute to smog formation.
The Clean Air Campaign is a not-for-profit organization that serves as a
clearinghouse for a multitude of organizations that have programs in place to
address traffic congestion and air pollution. Collectively they work with more
than 800 employers in the region to mitigate traffic congestion and improve air
quality.
