Employer opportunities & Way2Go

There’s more than one way to get to work, and there’s even more no- and low-cost ways for employers to encourage healthy and smart commuting options. In addition to saving money on taxes, you can help cut transportation- and health-related losses, boost employee morale, and attract and retain desirable employees.

Check out these ways to support commuters and your business at the same time, then see below to contact Way2Go for services:

No- or low- cost support for commuting alternatives

1. Employee education on:
  • Relevant bus routes and services, including service for qualified persons with disabilities
  • New transportation services such as vanpooling, Ithaca Carshare, and Working Adults Transportation Assistance.
  • Overcoming barriers to and enjoying the benefits of active transportation such as bicycling and walking
  • Benefits of and tips for shared rides, including addressing common concerns such as safety and sharing costs
  • How to consider, try out and combine diverse transportation strategies
2. Creating a workplace culture that encourages commuting alternatives through top-down modeling, and commuter incentives, recognition or contests

3. Ridesharing/ride-matching support using external ridesharing websites, workplace announcements, employee address information or surveys, or self-service ride boards, email lists or other social networking

4. Ithaca Carshare reduced memberships, an organizational membership, or even a trial Ithaca Carshare car at your business or organization

5. Tax-Free Commuter Benefits, which can increase your employees' take-home pay without increasing your payroll! Provide a high-value/low-cost, competitive employee benefit already in place at scores of companies

6. Flexible scheduling and telework options to cut commute time, expense and stress, while retaining or improving employee productivity and satisfaction

7. Commuter-friendly facilities such as bicycle protection and racks, lockers, showers or other amenities to support active transportation to work
