There has never been a better time for organizations to support their employees when it comes to commuting. State and federal programs have been expanded to incentivize commute options that reduce costs, time, and frustration while also shrinking your organization's carbon footprint.
Take at least one step to promote alternatives to single occupancy vehicles and your organization will be entered in the Commuter Choice Challenge prize drawing. Taking two to five steps doubles your entry in the prize drawing and taking six or more steps gives you three entries.
The drawing will include your choice of prizes including cycling gear, work-from-home accessories, the assistance of the Commuter Choice program in bolstering employee education, and more prizes yet to be determined.
We look forward to learning about and celebrating all the ways Maryland Green Registry members are working toward smarter, greener employee commute options.
