Commute Survey

A free online survey can use to gather information about your workforce’s commute habits, attitudes and interest in commute options. This survey helps identify what transportation programs are most needed and desired at your workplace, and sets a baseline against which to measure the success of new transportation programs.

Density Map

A free map of your worksites and employee home locations helps you and your employees identify “commute clusters” to concentrate on for forming carpools and vanpools. It can also help identify people who live within reasonable walking and biking distance of work. We do this in a way that protects your employees’ privacy, and gives you a useful, visual reference document.

Site Assessment

A tool to help you evaluate the physical elements of your worksite with an eye towards commuting and transportation. All of your existing transportation and commute facilities such as parking lots, bicycle parking, commuter facilities such as showers and lockers, proximity to bus service and stops are identified and quantified. Employers are often surprised at how many commuter-friendly amenities are already in place. The site assessment also helps identify the areas where you can make capital investments to better support and expand your employees commute choices.

Commute Plans

Research findings from the commute survey, density map and site assessment all work together to help employers design commute programs that make the most sense for their worksite, business goals and company culture. Commute Solutions can provide you with a menu of program components that have been used at companies that have received community recognition for being among the best workplaces for commuters.

Worksite Assistance

Commute Solutions is available to visit your worksite and present transportation information in a variety of formats. We have delivered customized presentations about CO2 and climate change, led groups of employees in carpool-matching games, and staffed information tables at employee wellness, environmental and benefit fairs. We even do instant, on-site carpool matching to help your employees find someone with whom they can share a ride to work.
