Way to Go Program –Car, Van & School Pool programs

A BETTER WAY TO WORK

Are you interested in attracting and retaining the best employees in your industry?

How your employees get to work can have a big impact on your business. 24% of employees will leave a job due to a rough commute. Fortunately, as an employer you have options. Way to Go programs can save your business and your employees money, reduce stress, improve overall health and help the environment.

Denver South partners with the Denver Region Council of Governments (DRCOG) Way to Go Program to develop commuting programs designed specifically for your company. Let us show you how to make your employees happier, healthier and more productive. We will educate your employees about all their commute options and available alternatives to driving alone.

Best of all, it’s FREE, easy and the right thing to do for your organization and for the broader region.

CARPOOL

Employees who ride together thrive together; it’s a natural team-building exercise. Carpooling saves your employees money and frees up parking space at your business. Way to Go’s online ride-matching software is easy to use, secure and FREE. And, as an employer, you can even set up your own network within the program to ensure your employees can easily be matched with one another.

VANPOOL

Riding to work in a comfortable van and sharing the ride is ideal for groups of commuters who live near each other and travel more than 15-miles one-way to work. For a reasonable monthly fare, the Way to Go vanpool program provides the vehicle, insurance, and fuel. Vanpools consist of five (or more) people who share a similar, longer commute. In addition to the huge financial savings (e.g. a daily commuter from Colorado Springs can save over $10,000 per year in hard/soft costs) vanpool fees are eligible as a pre-tax deduction. Denver region vanpools are subsidized by RTD and our expert team can provide tools to assist with a vanpool formation at your workplace.

SCHOOLPOOL

Parents driving children to school represent over 30% of peak-time traffic congestion throughout the Denver Metro Region. Depending on where your children attend school, busses may not be a viable option, forcing you to drive your children to class putting you in long drop-off lines before getting into stop-and-go traffic on your way to work. DRCOG’s Schoolpool program offers you a secure system to connect you with families in your neighborhood to help share the responsibilities of getting kids to and from school via carpooling. Thousands of families in Denver area schools are already connected to the shared Schoolpool program. If you need help transporting your kids to and from school, Way to Go can help you get started with Schoolpool for FREE.
