MAKE YOUR BUSINESS BETTER WITH TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT 

Attract and retain talent with commuter benefits
​
Your employees are spending both time and money to get to work, and they want you to help them get there. 7 out of 10 employees believe that their employers should take the lead in helping them reduce commuting costs, and 2 out of 3 would take another job to improve their commute. 

Active commuters have higher rates of happiness and better health
​
This impacts your bottom line: regular physical activity can improve an employee's work performance by up to 52%. Portland-area workers who take transit, bike, or walk are also more satisfied with their commute compared to those who drive.

Offering a transit benefit fare program is a win-win for employers and employees

​Since transit benefits are considered tax-free benefits, not employee wages, your company saves 7.65% in payroll taxes. Even better, your employees will save up to 40% on their commuting costs - it's like getting a raise! 

Traffic congestion diminishes regional competitiveness and slows economic growth

​As a domestic freight hub, our economy is highly dependent on an efficient and reliable transportation system. Even if your business is not directly related to the traded sector, efficient movement of goods and people impacts your bottom line. ​

Support policies that support your business

Increasing walking and bicycling is directly correlated with revenue growth for local businesses. This is particularly important for retailers, as they stand to benefit from being located in vibrant and pedestrian-friendly commercial districts. If your employees can get to work easily, so    can your customers. 

Foster long-term community resilience and success

​ Sustainable business models are the norm, not the exception. Offering robust and varied commute options helps companies and organizations manage fiscal, social, and environmental risks.

WE VALUE YOUR EMPLOYEES AS MUCH AS YOU DO

"Washington County continues to be among the fastest growing regions in the state, adding an average of more than one resident and 1.3 jobs per hour in the last year. Alongside our growth, congestion is projected to only get worse, jeopardizing the efficient and reliable movement of people and goods. It is critical to support robust travel options programs that complement growth and maintain the quality of life that Washington County residents and employees expect."
