About BBB Atlanta

For over a century, the Better Business Bureau has helped consumers make informed decisions by providing free information on more than 5.5 million businesses in North America. Employees at BBB Atlanta & NE provide localized resources and outreach for the Atlanta metropolitan area and 47 surrounding counties.

The people of Atlanta are no strangers to traffic — a 2023 study by Clever Real Estate ranked the metro third in a list of the top 10 worst cities for commuters. As BBB Atlanta was preparing to move from its downtown location to Alpharetta, a suburb more than 20 miles north, the organization’s leadership knew it would be a struggle for many of their employees, especially those whose travel distance was about to double. To ease the burden, BBB Atlanta partnered with Commute with Enterprise to launch their employee vanpool program.

Company Objectives

  • Minimize the impact on employees spending more time traveling to and from work
  • Ease the additional financial burden associated with a longer commute
  • Retain as many employees as possible through the move
  • Support a more sustainable commute

2024 Results:

  • Saved 158,966 total commuter miles1
  • Reduced CO2 tailpipe emissions by 121,138 lbs2
  • Retained 1/3 of employees with commutes over 25 miles
  • Saved employees $102,8733 in commuting costs

In Their Own Words

“With the move, we knew we couldn’t make our employees’ commutes any shorter, but we could make them easier — and our vanpool program with Commute with Enterprise has helped us do just that. It’s been a wonderful experience and very easy to maintain. The program has helped reduce our employees’ stress and expenses in transitioning to a longer commute.”
