Commuters willing to try a new way of getting to work could earn some extra cash.

Georgia Commute Options is offering $5 a day — up to $150 total — to switch to an alternative form of transportation such as carpooling, public transit or even biking.

“We find that people who have become members of this program in the past, 85 percent of them continue to use some alternative mode of transportation for six months up to two years after they’ve completed the program,” said Natalie Dale, a spokeswoman for the Georgia Department of Transportation, which runs Georgia Commute Options.

The “Gimme Five” program starts Nov. 1. Participants can earn money for a 90-day period.
