Transforming Commuting in one of Atlanta's Thriving Business Hubs
Case Study
Central Perimeter is home to one of Atlanta’s densest employment areas in the region, with more than 130,000 employees and 3,000+ companies representing a mix of Fortune 500 companies, large to small enterprises, and service industry businesses across four square miles. An advocate for infrastructure and transportation, the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts hired UrbanTrans to implement transportation solutions that improve access and mobility and reduce congestion within the commercial district.

Perimeter sits at the confluence of two major highways, and its primary intersection sees over 400,000 cars each day. As the area continues to gain popularity among leading companies in Atlanta due to its convenient location and reasonable office rent prices, Perimeter’s influx in commuters is pushing its infrastructure past its limits—resulting in high volumes of traffic and significant commute times. However, the area boasts three heavy rail stations and a commuter bus service. UrbanTrans leverages these key amenities and works directly with properties, employers, and employees to decrease drive-alone commutes and increase transit ridership, carpools, telework, and active transportation among employees throughout the district.



UrbanTrans leverages a unique two-pronged approach to drive results and redefine what it means to get to work in Perimeter: deep-dive programming for major employers and scalable solutions for area businesses. UrbanTrans works with large properties and employers to impact thousands of commuters through programming, urban planning, and policymaking. To serve the rest of the market, UrbanTrans offers a digital menu of services and resources, so employers of all sizes can benefit from the same advising and support given to larger enterprises.
