Commute Advantage Community Leaders
Employer commute programs play a vital role in reducing traffic
congestion, curbing climate change and maintaining our ecomonic
vitality as an urban center. The Commute Advantage Community Leader
designation rewards companies that provide effective programs and
resources to their employees with recognition and professional assistance
to promote their program.
What does it take to become a Commute Advantage Community Leader?
Employers must provide a subsidy of at least $25 per month toward
a transit or vanpool pass and implement two or more strategies from
a variety of options:
· Offer discounted and/or preferential carpool or vanpool
parking
· Eliminate drive-alone parking subsidies (in downtown Bellevue)
or charge drive-alone commuters at least $25 per month for parking
(in areas outside of downtown).
· Implement a telework and/or compressed work week policy.
· Provide an Emergency Ride Home program to employees that
use alternative commute modes.
· Provide employees access to a company-funded carsharing
program or on-site fleet.
