Telework, $150 Visa Gift Card
“We are very fortunate to be living in a community that supports alternatives in commuting. The resources under Commuter Services are fantastic, especially in regards to biking. I have utilized these resources for the past 5+ years to make my bike commute easier for myself and I‘ve also shared these resources with my work well-being team. Biking to work is possible for many – just give it a try. I promise you will be surprised as to how easy it is and how much energy you have at work that day.“

“Taking public transit is a really practical choice for my commute. I catch up on reading, answer emails, and, best of all, avoid the stress of traffic. I also love that it helps reduce my carbon footprint. Choosing the Metro Transit bus for my daily commute aligns with both my personal efficiency and environmental values.”

Telework pledge, $150 Visa Gift Card
“Being able to telework and work a Hybrid model has benefited my work production as my commute takes me through the construction zones on 494 and France Ave. Being able to work from home on select days allows me to start working sooner, getting more done before most people start their day. I’m spending less time in traffic, so my stress level is decreased, aiding better mental health and focus. I am thankful for the opportunity my company has provided with telework.“

Bus and bike pledge, Electric Bike
“I first encountered Commuter Services at a street fair and was really inspired to explore biking as there is no bus route from my home to my work. My husband bikes to work and there have been many pleasant days that I would think how nice it would be to bike to work… I am very much looking forward to having my own electric bike to commute to work and help me reach my fitness goals as well. And a big bonus is that I will finally be able to keep up with my husband when we bike together!”
