Having a smart transportation program at your worksite is a benefit to employees, which allows employers to attract and retain top talent, expand labor pools, reduce parking demand, and demonstrates environmental responsibility. A transportation program can include a variety of elements such as forming carpools, providing bus passes, subsidizing vanpooling, encouraging teleworking and compressed work weeks.
