Transportation Survey is a free service provided to your company. The survey is available online and in paper formats. The goals of the survey are to:
- Create a baseline of your current situation
- Identify current opportunities and challenges
- Create a transportation plan
The Transportation Plan is based on information compiled from the Transportation Survey. Participating Transportation Choices Program employers receive a detailed report of their current situation and recommendations. The plan is presented to management and helps to gain leverage of next steps. For more information about receiving a plan contact lquinn@rideshare.org
Telework Program Teleworking, also known as telecommuting, is another work alternative which helps the environment. The goal of telework is to bring work to the employees rather than bringing employees to work. As a result, teleworkers spend less time on the road traveling to and from the office, and more time doing work and other valuable activities. Download a Telework Policy here. |
