Employees and Employers

What is curb-to-curb transportation?

Curb-to-curb transportation means our driver picks up your employee at their home or desired location and delivers them to your building: No waiting at cold bus stops or leaving their car at a commuter lot. 

Why provide transportation services for your workforce?

“Employees are desperate for better commutes and prepared to take extreme measures to achieve quicker, easier and less expensive ways of getting to work. Twenty-three percent of workers in the U.S. have quit a job because of a tough commute, a Robert Half survey reported, while 85 percent would be willing to take a pay cut in exchange for a shorter commute.” – SHRM, “Commuter Benefits Are an Investment in Employees.”

Offering a commuter benefit plan is one way that employers can help.

Benefits of an employee commute program

• Attracting and retaining workers: Employers across the country are finding it almost impossible to find qualified applicants. Providing transportation gives you a competitive edge. 
• Provide employment opportunities for single car / no car families: Over 25% of American families have only one or no cars. Many of them think their only work option is to work from home. By providing transportation, you open up employment opportunities to an entirely different population. 
• Reduce automotive expenses for employees: The cost for commuting is estimated at $3,000 – $5,000. Offering a service that puts money back in the pockets of your employees will make you stand out from the competition. 
• Reduces parking needs: Reduce the number of cars in the lot and provide better parking for the staff not currently utilizing a ride with RMTD.  
• Helping support public transit: RMTD provides rides to seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, and the transportation challenged. Corporate ride partners help support rides for people in our community who need them the most.  
• Conserve energy, reduce carbon emissions, and help the environment: If sustainability is part of your business plan, or if you’re just someone who cares about the environment, shared rides and reduced carbon emissions are great ways to create a healthier environment. 
• Developing your corporate reputation as an environmentally- and worker-friendly company: Corporations that offer alternative methods of transportation are good community leaders and environmental stewards.  More employees, particularly younger ones, are looking closely at potential employers’ commitment to the environment. Showing you care about staff has always been important!
