The Ultimate Insider’s Guide to Crushing Your Trip to Work as an ATL Airport Employee
Shift helps ATL Airport employees find a better way to get to work. This is our Ultimate Insider’s Guide. Save money. Find a ride. Get rewards.
Forget Uber! Here’s How to Share a Ride to Your Job at the ATL Airport (for a Fraction of the Cost)
Some days, your commute to the Atlanta airport can be hard. And expensive.
Other days, your once reliable ride to work may be unavailable, your car may end up in the shop, or you may need to work a shift that starts or ends when MARTA isn’t running. That’s when things get really difficult.
Ridesharing services like Uber are a decent option for getting to work, but let’s face it…
Uber is getting expensive these days.
In fact, average Uber prices rose 92 percent between 2018 and 2021!
What if instead you could catch a ride with someone else that works at the airport, lives near you, and works the same shifts as you?
With over 65,000 people working at the ATL airport, that has to be a lot of people, right? Many of them would be more than happy to split the vehicle, gas, and parking costs with someone.
But how do you find someone to rideshare to your job at the Atlanta airport?
Luckily, Shift (the airport area’s commuting services team) provides all Atlanta airport employees with access to a free app where you can find other airport employees going your way each day.
So how does it work?
How to Share a Ride with an Atlanta Airport Coworker
The process is simple! Here’s all you need in just a few steps:
- Sign-up or log-in to a My Georgia Commute Options account
– Or get the GA Commute App- Get it here on the App Store
- Get it here on Google Play
- Search for rides (see more below)
And remember, the GA Commute App is provided by Atlanta’s regional government, so it is always free and safe to use.
Find Atlanta Airport Coworkers to Rideshare
To search for other airport employees that have the same commute to work as you, use the Rides tab at the bottom of the app, as shown in this image.
When you find a good fit, contact that person and you both can determine if it makes sense to share a ride to work.
Check out this video showing what the process of searching for a ride looks like in the app.
