Celebrating Cox Enterprises and State Farm as 2026 Best Workplaces for Commuters
Perimeter Connects is proud to celebrate two longtime employer partners—Cox Enterprises and State Farm—for being recognized as 2026 Best Workplaces for Commuters (BWC). This national designation highlights organizations that go above and beyond to provide employees with meaningful commuting benefits that support flexibility, affordability, and sustainability.
The Best Workplaces for Commuters program recognizes employers that meet rigorous national standards for transportation benefits, including transit access, ridesharing, flexible scheduling, and other commute solutions. These strategies do more than improve the daily experience for employees; they reduce congestion, support clean air, and strengthen regional mobility.
As a program of the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts, Perimeter Connects works directly with employers to design, implement, and promote commuter solutions that align with both organizational priorities and the region’s evolving transportation landscape. Cox Enterprises and State Farm exemplify how strategic investment in commuter programs delivers measurable value at both the organizational and regional levels.
Cox Enterprises: Driving Business Growth Through Smarter Commute Solutions
As Cox Enterprises expanded into new locations, the organization identified commuting accessibility and affordability as essential components of workforce support. Today, Cox’s commuter program supports more than 100 employees by reducing transportation costs and expanding reliable travel options.
Through its pre-tax commuter benefits program, Cox enables employees to offset eligible parking and transit expenses using pre-tax dollars, creating direct financial savings while simplifying daily travel. These benefits are supported by a broader suite of commuting resources, including transit passes, designated carpool parking, bike racks and showers, flexible work arrangements, and last-mile shuttle access.
Cox’s investment in commuter benefits also supports the company’s broader sustainability goals by encouraging alternative mode use and reducing vehicle emissions. By integrating commute solutions into its workplace strategy, Cox demonstrates how transportation benefits can support organizational growth, operational efficiency, and environmental stewardship.
State Farm: Integrating Commuter Benefits into Workplace Strategy
Since establishing its Park Center hub, State Farm has built a robust commuter benefits program that has supported hundreds of employees and positioned the company as a regional leader in workplace mobility innovation.
State Farm provides employees with access to discounted transit passes, pre-tax transportation benefits, direct connectivity to MARTA, bike facilities, and flexible work arrangements. Through its longstanding partnership with Perimeter Connects, State Farm also leverages commute planning tools and resources that help employees navigate their travel options and make informed choices about how they get to work.
State Farm’s commuter strategy reflects the realities of today’s hybrid workforce, recognizing that flexible scheduling and remote work policies are essential components of modern commute programs. By integrating transportation benefits with broader workplace flexibility initiatives, State Farm continues to strengthen productivity, engagement, and long-term workforce resilience.
Advancing Regional Mobility Together
Cox Enterprises and State Farm demonstrate how employer-led commuter programs create lasting benefits for employees, businesses, and the broader community. By offering flexible, sustainable, and cost-saving transportation solutions, both organizations help reduce congestion, support cleaner air, and improve quality of life across the region.
Perimeter Connects is proud to partner with employers who view commuting as a strategic opportunity. Through collaboration with Georgia Commute Options and other regional partners, Perimeter Connects helps employers transform commuting into a competitive workforce advantage, strengthening individual organizations while contributing to a more connected and resilient region.
