Regional Commuter Survey

Summary

The Regional Commuter Survey (RCS) provides data-driven insights into commute patterns in the 20-county Atlanta region. The 2025 RCS results show an increase in teleworking, a reduction in alternative mode use, and an increase in non-traditional work schedules. Teleworking remains significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels, but access to teleworking is unequal, with frontline workers and lower-income commuters having less access. The survey also found that commuters face barriers to using alternative modes, including longer trip times and lack of transit availability.
