Public Transit
GCRTA service is accessible and frequent, and downtown is at the center of the system. In June 2021, the “NextGen” system redesign was launched to provide more frequency to downtown, so employees may find that transit has become a more attractive option for them since before the pandemic.
Employees can use the GCRTA app to purchase passes and can plan their trip easily through Google Maps or the Transit App. Note that fare purchasing will be upgraded this June to the EZFare Platform, which can be accessed on the Transit App.
Commuter Advantage: employers can offer this benefit to employees to use pre-tax dollars to purchase a transit pass.
Shared Mobility
Scooters and electric bikes are available for rent downtown using a smartphone.
