Offering financial incentives is an effective way to encourage commute choice use because they simply save employees money. They can be in the form of cash, cost reimbursements, one-time salary increases, discounts, or benefits such as paid time off. They can also be given for either first-time or continued use of commute choices, and be weighted according to which options you d most like to promote.
Financial incentives can be effective anywhere commute choices are promoted.
However, worksite characteristics can make some more attractive than others. For example, transit subsidies and parking discounts are not always appropriate. Incentive amounts and employee incomes can also impact success.
