Yes! Non-profits and local governments can also take advantage of this program.

To be eligible you’ll need to complete the form provided by the Department of Revenue (Denver South will share as soon as created) in addition to a plan sharing how you will notify your employees about the alternative transportation options you plan to offer and how you plan to encourage your employees to utilize the options available.

You’ll also need to show how many employees you’ve offered these options to, how many have taken advantage of these opportunities, and if possible, how many trips your employees have taken using an alternative transportation option.
