Solutions for your organization

Driving alone puts a strain on nerves, the roads, and our air! When you offer alternate travel programs at your company, school, or residence, you'll benefit by attracting and retaining great people and demonstrating your commitment to more environmentally friendly transportation.

Not sure where to start? Metro Transit’s Commuter Programs staff will analyze your situation, help determine the best solutions for your organization, then provide support to set up and administer the program.

Teleworking

Teleworking is a great benefit for employers to attract new employees. We can provide you with sample policies, a checklist for considerations before you implement, and ideas for training that are right for you.

Biking

Biking to work helps keep your employees healthy and relaxed. As part of a comprehensive plan, we can help you set up facilities to encourage biking to your workplace.
