implement the

Automated
commuter matching
Traffic
Solutions recently launched
Traffic Solutions Online, an easy-to-use, automated
commuter matching system. Many companies want to provide their own
carpool matching for employees—but starting in July 2007,
it’s already done for you. Traffic Solutions has
launched
an online commuter matching service available free to everyone who
lives or works in Santa Barbara County.
With one
click, your employees can log on and find their personalized
carpool matches, see vanpool routes, map their closest
transit stops, and more. Employees can search for carpool
matches just within the company, or expand their search to
include others in their neighborhood. We can even give your
company a customized page, where an administrator at your
company can upload your company logo, provide information to
your employees about commuter benefits, and access
information from all registered employees.
It’s free, and we maintain the site. It doesn’t get any easier than
that. Contact
Traffic Solutions today to register
your company.

Emergency
Ride Home program
It's great if
your employees ride a bike, hop on the bus, carpool,
vanpool, or walk to work, but what if someone has an
emergency and needs to get home quickly? We’ve thought of
that, too.
To provide peace of mind and as an added
incentive, we offer free enrollment for all employees in our
Emergency Ride Home program. Emergency Ride Home will
reimburse employees for a taxi or rental car up to $55.00 on
the day of the emergency. It’s just one more benefit you
can offer employees who commute by a mode other than driving
alone.
Regional transportation solutions
You don’t
always have to drive—often, transit is an option. We can
provide information on
regional transit for employees who are
long-distance commuters. There are several commuter busses
that serve Santa Barbara County. And if there is no bus, we
can offer assistance and financial incentives to form a
vanpool.
Why can we
offer these services?
By providing free consulting, we help employers identify and
encourage commute options for their employees. When people
are aware of their commute options and have an incentive to
try something different, they often they find solutions in
transit, ridesharing, or non-motorized transportation. More
cars off the road not only translates into happier, healthier,
more productive employees, but also helps Traffic Solutions
meet is goal of reducing traffic congestion and
air pollution, and improving quality of life for the whole
community.
