Did you know it is mandatory for employers with 50 or more full-time employees in the Bay Area to register with the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program? Even if an employer offers commuter benefits, to be in compliance with the Bay Area Air District’s Regulations they are required to enroll in the program and update their registration annually. Employers must offer one or more of five types of transit benefits: 1. Pre-tax transit benefits 2. Employer-provided subsidy for transit or vanpooling 3. Employer-provided transit (such as shuttles) 4. Telework one or more days a week 5. A custom plan that includes other modes like bicycling or walking, possibly combined with promotions that encourage alternates to driving alone and more Employers can play a key role in affecting air quality and traffic congestion, both of which have a strong impact on our quality of life and future sustainability. Enrollment in the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program is easy and free by visiting: https://511.org/

Increasing participation in a transit commuter benefit is possible, but first you have to address a classic question: Does transit even work for my commute?https://hubs.la/Q02zLJNR0

"The RTO conversation is a chance for employers to fundamentally question the pre-pandemic status quo in which cars are the primary way employees get to and from work." >>Car commuting is a chief complaint of workers and job candidates who have resisted RTO >>Businesses risk limiting their talent pools if their workplaces are accessible only by driving >>In 2024, the average per-space construction cost stood at roughly $43,000 for aboveground parking and $60,000 for underground parking 💡If your organization needs help rethinking the commute, Movability is here to help - we offer mobility planning and programming for employers of all sizes.

Something to consider. The article discusses both the pros and cons of an RTO order, and for people already suffering from a loss of spending power, this is a lot of money to take off the family table. “We also saw that an organization’s decision to require in-office work represents a financial burden for employees. The average employee returning to the office spends $561 per month on transportation, additional child and pet care, and domestic assistance. That is comparable to the average two-person household’s grocery bill in the U.S. for the entire month.” https://lnkd.in/gj99Z5vG
