How does my company sign up?

If your company does not have an ETC (Employee Transportation Coordinator), you should first designate someone as an ETC.  An ETC serves as liaison to Traffic Solutions from a company, and provides information to employees about biking, walking, transit, carpooling, and vanpooling.  Basically, an ETC is the communication point between employees and Traffic Solutions.  The ETC can be anyone that communicates with employees regularly, but is usually an HR Director, other HR staff, Executive Director, or CEO, depending on the size and organization of the company.

The ETC should create an account on Traffic Solutions Online. Once this is done, contact Lori La Riva, our Employer Programs Coordinator.  You can be set up as an administrator at that point, and you will have access to the tools described above.  Only Traffic Solutions staff can set you up as an administrator.

Commute Challenge - August - September 2008

The Commute Challenge is a friendly, team-based competition where teams of 5 individuals will compete for fun, glory, and prizes. Teams can be a mix of any sustainable transportation users (bus, bike, carpool, vanpool, walk, skate, train, telecommute). Any day that an auto trip is avoided can be counted toward the Commute Challenge. Teams can compete in one or both months. In addition to team vs. team competition, the Challenge will feature competition between employers. Contact us now to sign-up your company. Registration begins July 1, 2008.
