Lunch and Learn Recap: Transportation
“The Future of the Employee Commute” was the topic of the November Lunch and Learn. Some takeaways from our speakers included: 

1. Cultivating a flexible and productive culture in an ever-evolving remote work environment. By ensuring everyone is in the office together at least once a week, allowing more flexibility to those who are unable to work remotely, and maintaining a healthy day-to-day communication, your business can improve retention while also reducing vehicles on the road. 

2. Alternative transportation needs employer support. PC Transportation found that the #1 determinant for commuters to choose alternative transportation was having an employer that supports sustainable commuting. Take Park City Lodging, which provides a $3/day carpool incentive, accessible bike racks, and a shower for the active transporters.

Public transportation in Summit County is expanding with broader routes, more frequent pickups, and improved service. But alternative options go beyond the bus!

In winter, biking and walking can be tough—so why not carpool? Local businesses like Cole Sport and JANS (in addition to PC Lodging) offer cash or store credit incentives ($2–$5 per employee, per day) for carpooling. Employees benefit, traffic and emissions drop, and new parking spots appear—a win win for all!
