Commuter Club, the nation’s largest Transportation Management Association (TMA)-sponsored vanpool program that offers alternate commute solutions, celebrated the addition of the 100th van to its vanpool fleet with remarks from Gov. Sonny Perdue and a celebratory lunch last month. Governor Perdue commended Commuter Club for its momentous achievement of eliminating 100 million vehicle miles from Atlanta’s roadways and saving commuters more than $5 million in vehicular-related expenditures since the program’s inception.
Commuter Club’s success could not come at a better time for Atlanta’s commuters; the average commute for Atlantans is about 30 percent longer than that of workers in other U.S. cities and can cost up to $650 a month, according to AAA.
Commuter Club was developed by the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CID) in 1996 to address transportation and environmental issues in Atlanta. Today, Commuter Club, Georgia’s first Transportation Management Association (TMA), continues to help reduce Atlanta’s traffic and pollution while saving commuter dollars.
