Frequently Asked Questions

Our team takes a tailored approach when designing your transportation program. Here’s what the process looks like:

• Survey and engage with your employees to understand their transportation wants and needs. 

• Identify the level of resources your organization can make available for a commute program.

• Consider the existing nearby resources you can take advantage of.

• Select a package of commute program elements aligned with business needs and designed to encourage employees to use sustainable transportation options.  

• With your appointed Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC), we will launch your commute program. 

• After feedback from you and your employees, we will refine the program. 

• We will continue to work with you and your ETC post-launch to maintain the program and ensure its success.

Understanding what challenges your employees face in regards to transportation will help you set up a program that’s meaningful and effective for them. Here are some general questions to consider:

• What transportation options do you currently use to get to work?

• What transportation options support would you like to have available to you?

• Are there specific transportation challenges you face that make it difficult to get to work?

• Would you be willing to participate in a carpool or vanpool program?

• What factors, such as incentives or flexible schedules, would make you more likely to use sustainable transportation options?

• How important is having access to sustainable transportation options support to you in considering an employer?

• Are you willing to pay a portion of the cost for transportation options, such as transit passes?

When you partner with Ride Together Pierce the cost for supportive services is $0. We can help with as much or as little involvement as you would like from helping design your program to helping you launch and manage it. The cost of the transportation program itself will depend on the plan you choose.
