Downtown Connects: Employer and Property Manager Services

New Hire Benefits + Resources

Attract and retain the best employees

Longer commutes make it harder to recruit and retain employees. Stress and time lost in traffic can cut productivity and chip away at morale. Stress related health problems can increase absenteeism and push health care costs through the roof.

Our free financial incentives increase participation in commute options programs and create higher employee morale.

Reduce parking demand with a parking management strategy

Downtown Connects will identify ways that a specific employer can reduce parking demand. This service coupled with our other commuter services can cut direct costs on leased parking spaces and also the need to build more parking spaces on employer-owned land.

Improve community relations

Your organization can receive public recognition for the positive effect these programs have in reducing congestion; improving air quality; and creating a vibrant, competitive economy in Atlanta.

Environment

Changing your commute from an 8 mile solo drive (round trip) to bus/rail can reduce your carbon emissions by almost 2,000 lbs per year.

Community

Don’t get stuck in your car by yourself. Join your neighbors. More feet on the streets = a more vibrant neighborhood. Get out, meet your neighbors, clean commute to work, and create a community.
