ETC – EMPLOYEE TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR
What does an ETC do?
An Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC) is someone who works hand-in-hand with the Ride Together Pierce team to help administer and promote sustainable commute options (bus, train, carpool, vanpool, bike, walk, compressed workweek, and telecommute) to employees at their worksites.
How do you become an ETC?
Employers of all sizes can provide an Employee Commute Options Program, and in order to implement an effective program an ETC is essential. ETCs are employees who are either designated by their employer or are employees who are enthusiastic about reducing air pollution, traffic congestion, and fuel consumption.
