Your Commute Connector: The Role of an Employee Transportation Coordinator

As traffic congestion, sustainability goals, and employee recruitment and retention take center stage, more businesses in Washington County may be wondering, How can we support better ways for our teams to get to work? One effective answer is through an Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC). 

An ETC serves as a workplace liaison for commuting options. Whether it's organizing carpool matches, promoting transit benefits, or sharing biking and telework resources, an ETC helps employees discover and use transportation solutions that reduce drive-alone trips and improve the daily commute. 

In many organizations, ETC duties are taken on by HR professionals, sustainability managers, or facilities staff, often as an added responsibility. While these roles bring valuable insight into workplace needs, they may not always have the time or resources to fully manage a commute program. 

That’s where WTA comes in. We can support your internal ETC with tools, guidance, outreach strategies, and ready-to-use incentive programs that encourage employees to choose sustainable commute options. If needed, we can also take on the ETC role ourselves, delivering hands-on support and customized programs tailored to your business. Whether you're building a commute program from the ground up or looking to strengthen your current efforts, WTA is here to help.

If you're looking to strengthen how your organization supports smarter commuting, WTA is ready to assist. Let's talk about what might work best for your teams.
