| Carpool and Vanpool
Creating a carpool or vanpool program or habit is a great way to reduce traffic congestion and encourage smart commuting techniques.
Motivate employees to carpool with the following incentives:
- Save money on your car. Car/Vanpooling saves you money by decreasing automobile use.
- Save money on your insurance. You can reduce insurance premiums by eliminating or limiting use of a personal vehicle for daily commuting.
- Save the stress. Less traffic headaches.
- Help clean the air. Reducing the number of automobiles on the road will reduce the amount of pollution put into our air.
- Get more time. By not driving, or sharing the driving burden, you can get more time to do other things during your commute: read, sleep, work and talk.
- Get there faster. You'll love using the HOV lanes.
Carpool Incentive Options a company can choose to use:
- Money, a monthly subsidy is always the best motivator.
- The opportunity to win money or prizes in monthly drawings.
- Preferential or special Parking privileges; both close to the door and or covered parking.
- Recognition by providing a Commuter Club Card.
- Save time - access to the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane.
- Saving money and reducing wear and tear on a vehicle.
- Find a carpool buddy
- Helping our air quality with Rideshare
