Since you already know your employees and your organization, here's some information to help you choose the right vehicles to promote in your commute program. Carpooling is a popular and easy option, and is often done on a part-time basis Two to six people share the ride in a private vehicle either sharing driving responsibilities or sharing the cost. Good carpooling candidates work set hours at least one day a week, can adjust their work schedules to match those of other potential carpool partners and prefer to spend commute time reading, socializing or napping rather than stressing out alone behind the wheel. Vanpoolers usually live more than thirty miles away from work, work fixed hours most of the time, like to socialize, and are interested in saving money. Riding the bus is a good choice for commuters who live less than fifteen miles from work and have easy access to the bus on both ends of their commute.
Some bus lines provide park and ride service at the home end of the trip.
Bus riders can sit back, relax, and enjoy the reliable, low-cost ride. Commuters who travel by train Commuters who travel by train move past the traffic while they read, nap, or work, during their reliable, relaxing trip. A choice of trains is generally available during peak commuter hours to fit any work schedule. The train is a good choice for commuters who can get dropped off or park at a train station in the morning and can either walk, take a bus or taxi, or board an employer-provided shuttle from the train station to their worksite. Bicycling or walking to work Bicycling or walking to work lets employees who live nearby get exercise rather than stress during their commute.
