Now you've got a special section exclusively for employers to help you learn more about setting up a company commuter benefits program.  We'll help you choose the components that make the most sense for your workplace and your employees.  We'll provide practical information on the most common elements that employers choose for their commuter benefits programs such as Carpool and Vanpool ridematching, Transit Benefits, Telework, Emergency Ride Home, and Flexible Work Schedules.

No matter whom you hire, one of the first questions new employees ask is, “How will I get to work?”  As an employer you have the ability to make these often costly commute decisions more affordable for your employees and your organization. By partnering with Commuter Choice Maryland and offering commuter options, your company can:

• Support affordable commute options for your employees.
• Provide a useful, measurable benefit at minimal cost.
• Practice sustainability and help reduce harmful emissions like greenhouse gases and smog.

Depending on the length of the commute, employees in the Baltimore metro area can spend thousands of dollars a year driving to work. The good news is even occasional use of commute alternatives can lead to major savings for your employees.
Case studies of employers across the U.S. show that offering incentives along with commuter options improves participation in these programs. Examples of programs that employers offer are:

• Commuter Benefits
• Telework
• Variable Work Hours
• Emergency Ride Home
