Introduction

What is a Commute Solutions program?

It is a flexible combination of strategies put in place by an employer in order to reduce the number of employees commuting in single-occupant vehicles (SOV).

Reduce parking demand which can be a significant cost savings and can free up parking for customers and visitors.

Provide employees with a commuting benefit while reducing your payroll taxes.
