Transportation challenges don’t stop in the summer — and neither does the need for reliable employees.
Shared-ride programs can help employers improve attendance, reduce late arrivals, and support workers facing long or costly commutes.

SCPDC works with employers to explore carpool and vanpool options that fit their workforce.

Sharing the ride through carpooling or vanpooling can help reduce mileage, lower maintenance costs, and keep your car running longer.

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer — and busier roads across the region.

Fewer solo trips mean less congestion and safer travel for everyone. Sharing the ride to work helps reduce traffic and saves money long after the holiday weekend ends.

Reliable transportation is a key part of workforce success. Carpooling and vanpooling can help new employees get to work consistently, especially when housing and jobs aren’t close together.

Employers: shared-ride options can support onboarding, retention, and attendance.
