Employer Information

Transportation probably isn't your business, but it does affect your business.  The costs of transportation, traffic congestion, and other commuting issues can significantly impact your business and the well being of your workforce.  Some of these issues translate into direct, hard-dollar costs, while others present less tangible, but still very real costs to your business.

Did you know?

  • An employee's commute is perceived as an extension of his or her job experience.

  • Commuting affects job satisfaction, morale, and productivity.

  • Job options are restricted for workers who cannot drive to jobs.

  • Significant numbers of commuters would consider quitting their jobs or moving to avoid worsening congestion and the time that it takes to get to drive to work. (Sources: AAA survey--1999; VDOT survey--1998)

By offering a commuter benefits program, you will be able to provide your employees a value-added benefit and take a tax write-off.  Cascades West can work with you to design a commuter benefits program that fits your and your employees.

Even if a comprehensive program is not suitable for your situation, we can provide several cost-free suggestions to improve your worksite for employees who take the initiative to use non-single occupancy vehicles to get to work. Please read our employer handbook for more details (in Adobe PDF)
