(WSB Radio) -- On the 750 Energy Watch, with gas prices nearing $4.00 a gallon, metro Atlantans are parking their cars in record numbers and seeking alternative ways to commute and travel.

WSB's Sabrina Gibbons reports that many drivers are turning off their engines and catching a ride.

    Brian Carr with the Georgia's Clean Air Campaign tells WSB News, "People are starting to feel the pinch in their wallets. For every dollar spent on gasoline, it's a dollar that you can't spend somewhere else in your budget."

    Carr says the cash for commuters campaign has seen a huge jump in members. And carpooling is saving commuters a lot of dough with many reporting $100 a month and more. "That program is up 88% year to date over last year."

    Chris sears who works for suntrust says the decision to carpool was pretty easy after gas prices started spiking: "You add up all that mileage over a year..that's real money." Folks are also turning to mass transit with gas prices near $4.00 a gallon.
