How Can the PTC Improve Your Business?

Productivity at your workplace isn't limited by the physical boundaries of your office suite or office building. It begins with recruiting quality people, and follows through with getting them to their workplace ready to produce and commit to their work. It extends to retaining the best employees, and ensuring that visitors and vendors can easily access your place of business.

A smart transportation infrastructure and organizational strategy will:

• Reduce absenteeism and tardiness
• Increase employee morale and productivity
• Keep construction and overhead costs down
• Provide a more inviting and efficient work environment

The PTC helps employers and property managers help their employees or tenants find better, cheaper, and less-stressful way to work. The following is a short description of our programs highlighting the direct benefits that PTC member companies can offer to their employees while increasing job satisfaction, productivity, and attendance:

• Perimeter Pass Program: Employees are able to purchase discounted monthly MARTA passes at work. Token Rolls and CCT passes are also available. Employees can save even more if their employer opts to provide pre-tax payroll deduction and/or additional subsidies for monthly cards.
• Vanpool Subsidies: A vanpool is a group of 7-15 commuters who share a ride to work in a vehicle leased from a vanpool provider, much like a rental car. The designated driver of the vanpool rides for free and gets the use of the vehicle on the weekends. The PTC helps form vanpools and keep them filled. In addition, the PTC provides each vanpool $1,000 to get started.
• Computerized Ridematching/Carpooling: The PTC works closely with Commute Connections, a program of the Atlanta Regional Commission, to offer customized ridematching services to member's employees. The PTC works to match employees from the Central Perimeter with their neighbors from home.
• Bicycling and Walking: In cooperation with the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign, the PTC offers fun, defensive-bicycling classes to teach people how to ride anywhere, even in Central Perimeter traffic. PTC member employers may also qualify for funds toward bicycle parking racks, sidewalks and curb cuts.
• Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH): With GRH, employees have no fear of being stranded at work on the days they use alternative transportation. In most cases, employees are eligible for a free taxi ride home in the case of an emergency or unexpected overtime.
