Employers participate by posting the Commuter Central Ride Board for rideshare information exchange, by offering Preferred Parking to carpools and vanpools, and by promoting the program in the workplace. Employees work together to form commute groups and serve as ambassadors within the workplace to promote the benefits of alternative commute options. Merchants promote the program by offering discounts to Commuter Choice Club members and displaying a Commuter Choice window decal at their place of business. Employers benefit from lower parking demand, which can translate into real savings, especially for growing companies. Fewer vehicles on the road improve productivity for sales and service staff.
Commuters save money on gas, oil, tolls and parking expense.
Less wear and tear extends the life of a car. Merchants receive free advertising by being featured in local newspapers and in the Commuter Choice Club monthly newsletter. They are recognized as a business that is contributing to a better business climate and a healthier environment. We all benefit from making the choice to leave our cars at home, even for a few days a week. With fewer vehicles on the roadways, we waste less time in traffic, we lower highway maintenance costs and we contribute to the economic growth and vitality of Delaware County.
