Are you ready to become a Rideshare Transportation Coordinator (RTC)? You've come to the right place!
When your organization becomes an RTC you will have the ability to promote and coordinate ride sharing for your employees or commuters living in your community - resulting in multiple benefits, including:
- Rested, productive employees – employees that rideshare often arrive more rested and ready to work.
- Higher employee retention.
- Reduced need for parking spaces for employees.
- Ridesharing reduces congestion, thus reducing commute time.
- Driving less = reduced vehicle maintenance and wear tear.
- Reduced fuel and vehicle maintenance costs.
- Less wear and tear on local roads.
- Viable transportation options for those living and working in rural communities
- Improves local air quality and reduces the carbon footprint.
- Inexpensive alternative to building infrastructure and expanding highways.
- Federal tax benefits allow commuters to set aside money from their paycheck, tax-free, to pay for public transportation, vanpool fare and commuter parking. This money is free from payroll taxes.
