Employers & Military Commands

Helping Area Businesses

Commuter programs can support employees who use alternate modes of transportation, which can include employees who carpool, vanpool, bike or walk to work, have a compressed work week or flexible hours, telework or take transit. Supporting commuting options can benefit employers through improvements in employee wellness, productivity, and retention. Potential savings are available to employer through tax benefits and reduced parking demand.

TRAFFIX Commuter Benefits Program can stand side-by-side with your organization’s medical, dental and vision benefits.
