Commuter ClubIn 1996, the Cumberland CID created the Cumberland Transportation Network (CTN), a transportation management authority (TMA), to address ways of reducing traffic in the area [19] CTN assisted companies inside the improvement district with developing and implementing commute-option programs for their employees.[19] The program, currently known as Commuter Club, identifies potential carpool and vanpool partners and offers the latest information and services to help the approximately 70,000 employees in the Cumberland area save money on transit or set up teleworking and flextime program at work sites.[20] In 2003, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency named the Cumberland office market one of nation's "Best Workplaces for Commuters" for the commuter services provided through Commuter Club.[20] "Best Workplaces for Commuters" is a national designation reserved for businesses, organizations and districts that meet a national standard of excellence in commuter benefits.[20] In June 2008, Commuter Club crested 100 vans becoming the largest TMA-sponsored vanpool program in the country.[21] Today, commuters from 17 metro Atlanta counties rely on Commuter Club’s vanpool program to make their trip to and from work less expensive and more enjoyable every day.[22] Commuter Club’s efforts remove more than 1,000 cars from the roads daily, saving more than $7,000 per year in commuting costs and eliminating more than 30,000 vehicle miles daily.[23] References1. ^Atlanta Regional Commission -
