Setting up a workplace travel options program is easy. Get There Portland Metro, in partnership with Metro, ODOT, TriMet and other regional travel options providers, can help you, at no cost, to create a program customized to your site and schedules – one that will benefit your employees and your business.
Why offer a travel options program to your employees?
- Biking, walking, transit and car – or vanpooling reduce stress: employees spend less time in traffic and/or less money on auto maintenance and gas. Less stress means better job performance.
- Less driving means fewer parking spaces to provide.
- Employees who bus, vanpool or rideshare to work are less likely to be late.
- A trip reduction program costs little to put in place, is a popular employee benefit, and a great recruitment tool.
- Sharing rides to work increases employee camaraderie.
- You can get tax breaks – like offering a free, subsidized or pre-tax-paid transit pass.
