Employer Support

Employer Services

If you’re looking further afield for qualified employees, losing staff to transportation difficulties, or running short of parking spaces — we could have the solution.

RideShare can analyze the transportation patterns of your employees, identify opportunities for corporate involvement, and develop a program to address them — often at little or no cost to get started.

The case for it

Why get involved?

Expanded labor pool

Transportation incentives give you an edge in recruiting qualified employees who live farther away and might otherwise be reluctant to commute.

Business tax deduction

Employers can take a business tax deduction of up to $100 per month per employee for underwriting vanpool or bus commuting expenses.

Productivity & morale

Employees who skip rush-hour traffic arrive in good spirits, ready to work — and put most of their transportation costs back into their pockets.

Reduced parking demand

When employees share the ride or take the bus consistently, you can defer or avoid the capital cost of additional parking and its maintenance.

Community recognition

Reducing congestion and pollution makes a positive contribution to quality of life in Central Virginia and supports a key goal of state and local government.

Little or no cost to start

Do as little or as much as you like. Preferential carpool parking, flexible schedules, or a RideShare link on your intranet cost nothing.
