Why your Company Should Care about Commuting

More than ever, workers are weighing the cost and hassle of commuting as they consider job opportunities. Let’s look at the data:

  • 1 out of 3 employees consider the commute when choosing a job.
  • The average Central Indiana commuter drives 40.8 miles and spends 50.6 minutes commuting to and from work every day.
  • 23% of workers have quit a job because of their commute.

Strengthen your Employer of Choice status, deliver low-cost benefits to employees and help to improve the environment by supporting responsible commuting … and we’ll help for free.

That’s right: Commuter Connect offers free services that help Central Indiana employers address some of their employees’ biggest concerns through commuter benefits that cost the company little or nothing. These services include:

  • Helping you establish pre-tax flex accounts for commuting-related expenses
  • Showing you how to partially or fully subsidize IndyGo and Workforce Connector passes and/or vanpool fares
  • Working with you to set up preferential parking for vanpoolers and carpoolers
  • Showing you how to create incentives for vanpooling and carpooling
  • Giving you guidance on installing bike lockers and commuter showers
