What role do employers play in commuting options?
Employers have the power to directly influence your employees’ commuting habits by setting policies on work hours, offering alternative schedules or by providing incentives. The work commute is often the most predictable trip people take; commuting trips can be the easiest to change. Employer partners of MassRIDES can have a tremendous impact on reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality.
