Commute alternatives can be good for the planet and your bottom line. iCommute provides free assistance and tools to help your company or organization design and implement customized commuter programs that meet its financial and environmental goals.

Commuter programs for employees can support carpooling, vanpooling, biking to work, taking transit, flextime, and working from home. The benefits to your company and your employees are many. Even if they participate only once a week, it can make a big difference in employee wellness, productivity, and retention, not to mention the savings in tax benefits and reduced parking demand.

Get Started Today. iCommute offers employers a Commuter Benefit Program Starter Kit to assist San Diego-area employers in developing and implementing a commuter policy and benefit program. The kit contains a simple, three-step process to help you identify your needs, design a custom program, and roll it out to your company’s employees.
