There are a variety of strategies that can be implemented at a worksite to help employees reduce drive alone commute trips.
Parking Management
Regulating use of parking is one of the more effective CTR methods. Strategies include pricing parking and/or reserving the most convenient parking spaces for carpoolers and other rideshare vehicles.
Incentives and Subsidies
Incentives and subsidies might include paying for a portion of an employee's bus pass or vanpool fee, or rewarding alternative commuters with prizes, gifts, or a regular financial incentive. These are successful strategies for maintaining on-going participation in a program.
On-site amenities
Amenities that reduce the need to have a car at work are simple but important, and can benefit the entire workforce. These amenities might include a cafeteria or food delivery service, direct payroll deposit, an ATM, and dry cleaning delivery services.
Facilities
Secure bicycle parking, in the form of covered racks or bike lockers are critical for promoting bicycling. Additionally showers and lockers can make bicycle commuting more convenient.
Ridematching
Helping employees find a carpool partner is most successful when done by an ETC or a regional ridematch service, like RideshareOnline.com.
Fleet vehicles
Access to a fleet vehicle eliminates the need to use a personal car for work purposes.
