Shuttles operated by Transportation Management Associations (TMA) or individual employers can complement and support use of public
transit, especially in underserved areas/times or for particular worksites. In Atlanta, Georgia, one TMA operates a shuttle service
that has an average monthly ridership of 5,550 people, while two other TMAs operated holiday mid-day shuttles that respectively had 959
and 5,475 boardings in December 2001. In 2002, the Atlanta TDM Framework partners reported that 15 employer-sponsored shuttles were
in operation – 12 feeder shuttles that transported individuals from transit stations to the worksite and 3 shuttles that transported
individuals from the worksite to local shopping malls during the midday lunch hours (no travel impacts reported).
