Implementing a trip reduction program at your worksite not only benefits you, but your employees as well. It can:

• Increase employee satisfaction - By allowing your employees to have alternative work schedules, work from home, and helping them carpool or vanpool, gives them more time for their families.
• Reduce demand for parking spaces - Fewer cars in your parking lot can free up spaces for customers, and avoid the expense of building and maintaining new parking facilities.
• Reduce tardiness and absenteeism - People who have to catch a bus, carpool or vanpool are more likely to be on time. Also, employees who are given more flexibility in their schedules feel better about their jobs, and this increases productivity.
• Reduce stress - Finding alternatives to driving alone can reduce employee stress, tension, and fatigue.
• Expand labor pool - Not everyone can work 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or owns a car. Flexible work schedules and sharing the ride to work, expands your labor pool to bring in qualified applicants.
• Enhance public image - Helps the community recognize that the organization cares for the environment.
• Provide employees with a low-cost benefit - These programs are often viewed by employees as a benefit, and can be used as a recruitment tool.
