Transit Talk: Beyond the 9-to-5 Commute

by | Mar 14, 2022 | Business Owners, Commute Trip Reduction, Events

Washington’s Commute Trip Reduction program requires certain large employers in high congestion areas to provide benefits such as transit passes in order to reduce employee car trips. In the last two years, however, commuting has changed significantly.

How should Washington’s Commute Trip Reduction program build on their good work for post-pandemic commuting? How can we support commuters not currently covered by the program, and make sure riders who do currently benefit continue to ride transit?

Join Transportation Choices Coalition and Commute Seattle for Transit Talk: Beyond the 9-to-5 Commute, a special conversation during Ride Transit Month taking place on Wednesday June 15, from 11:00am-12:00pm. This event is free but registration is required. Register using the form below.
