Spring is the season of renewal—a time for fresh air, fresh routines, and fresh opportunities to make a difference. While many of us focus on spring cleaning our homes, what about cleaning up our commutes?
This April, Georgia Commute Options (GCO) is challenging commuters across Atlanta to log their clean commutes and help us reach our collective goal: keeping 1 million pounds of CO₂ out of our air as part of the Million Air Challenge!
What's clean commuting?
A clean commute is any trip that helps reduce single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) travel. That means:
🚲 Biking – Enjoy fresh air while cutting down emissions.
🚶♂️ Walking – A simple, zero-emission way to get moving.
🚌 Transit – Reduce traffic and relax while MARTA does the driving.
🚗 Carpool/Vanpool – Share the ride, save money, and reduce congestion.
🏡 Remote Work – The ultimate pollution-free commute!
By making the switch, you’ll save money on gas, lower stress levels, improve your health, and contribute to cleaner air for everyone in metro Atlanta.
How to get involved:
✅ Try a Clean Commute – Whether it’s taking transit, biking, or working remotely, every trip counts.
✅ Log Your Trips – Use the MyGCO app to track your clean commutes between April 1-30.
✅ Earn Perks & Prizes – By logging your trips, you’ll be entered to win exciting prizes, including:
🌿 (2) Grand Prizes: A Family Plus Annual Gift Membership to Atlanta Botanical Garden
🏞️ (4) Runner-Up Prizes: A Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites Annual Combo Pass
Give Back to the Environment – Log 10 clean-air commutes in April, and Perimeter Connects will donate $10 to Trees Atlanta, helping plant more trees across metro Atlanta! Our goal? $1,000 in donations for a greener city.
