How Do I Qualify?

To qualify as one of the Triangle Region's Best Workplaces for Commuters and get on "the list", organizations must provide:

• At least one primary commuter benefit, which can include a monthly transit/vanpool pass subsidy, cash in lieu of free parking or a significant telecommuting program.



• A central point of contact for information, who actively informs employees of commuter benefits available.



• Access to a regional or employer-provided Emergency Ride Home Program, which is a free service through the Triangle Transit Authority.



• At least three supporting commuter benefits (employers of 20 or less employees need only offer one supporting benefit), which can include carpool/vanpool incentives, lockers/showers for bikers or walkers, preferred parking for carpoolers, ridesharing services, or onsite amenities such as day care or dry cleaning.
