I-85 Support, Atlantic Station

Always count on ASAP+ for your best way to work

ASAP+ Commute Concierge

A Free Concierge Service for a New Commute

Everybody wishes they lived a life full of personal assistants and concierges. Someone to do all your travel-related “heavy lifting” and give you great advice. That’s exactly what the ASAP+ Concierge service is meant to do but specifically for your travel to/from work at Atlantic Station (plus, it’s free and unlike a real concierge—tipping is forbidden).

Just say “hello” via Facebook Messenger and our staff will reply and provide custom info on the best way to get to work along with additional free commuter services and incentives.

ASAP Orange Bird

Early + Late Birds, Get the Worm

That old saying about our feathered-friends now applies to your commute. When you avoid the morning and evening rush hours, we’ll reward you! When driving to work is your only option (be sure to ask our Concierge above before you decide), then Atlantic Station office tower employees can shift their arrival/departure times to greatly improve their commute. You’ll also greatly improve your chances to win over $600 in gift cards just for Atlantic Station office tower employees!

Here’s how: Between April 11th and May 12th— every time your car enters the garage before 8:00am and/or every time your car leaves after 6:30pm on a weekday— you’ll be entered to win a $500 Amazon Gift Card as well as one of 20 Yogli Mogli $5 gift cards.

The more times you enter early and/or leave late, the more chances you earn to win! We’ll be using time-stamped data collected from the garages to enter the drawing and pick winners. Eligibility: during the campaign, you must actively work at an employer located in 171, 201, and/or 271 buildings. Carpools are also definitely eligible! Questions?

You won’t be alone in your plan to ride MARTA, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time especially in the morning. Additional pro tips for your MARTA trip:
  1. To find your MARTA route, receive real-time arrival/departure times and other vital info you’ll want to download the free MARTA On the Go app.

This is a free service available to anyone living, working or visiting Atlantic Station. You can track where the shuttle is in real time on our website, or by downloading the free TransLoc Ride app from the Apple App Store store or Google Play store.

ASAP+ Carpool

Carpool for a Life in the Fast(er) Lanes
There are a ton of reasons to carpool.

  1. It is further to drive to a MARTA station than it is to drive to work.
  2. HOV lanes can get you into some super sweet fast lanes.
  3. You can do your part to get the region moving again.
  4. Free breakfast. Let’s face it—free food makes everything better.
  5. Detours just aren’t in your vocabulary and you need someone else to take the wheel and listen to that crazy Waze voice.

Whatever the reason, it’s good to consider sharing the ride. Find someone with a similar schedule, who lives nearby and works at Atlantic Station by checking out this database of over 50k Atlanta commuters who want to share the ride.
