WHO WE ARE SMART COMMUTE DURHAM helps local employers and commuters explore and promote different commuter choices such as carpooling, teleworking, transit, cycling, walking or flexible work hours. CARPOOL ZONE www.carpoolzone.ca OUR GOALS TO EASE traffic congestion by reducing single occupant vehicle trips. TO REDUCE pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. TO INSPIRE commuters to embrace alternative sustainable transportation options such as public transit, carpooling, teleworking, biking and walking to improve their health and save money on their daily commute.
THE CHALLENGE WE LIVE IN A REGION THAT IS RAPIDLY GROWING. With this growth comes increased congestion and pollution. Now, more than ever, we must consider more sustainable ways of commuting in order to reduce the stress on our lives, roads and the environment. IS YOUR PRODUCTIVITY STUCK IN TRAFFIC? HELP YOUR EMPLOYEES CHOOSE A BETTER WAY. CARPOOL - Carpool Zone is a free, online ride-matching service. Your company will have its own user group on CarpoolZone.ca, where your employees can log on to find a carpool partner. PUBLIC TRANSIT - Let somebody else handle the stresses of driving. Monthly transit passes are now tax deductible. ACTIVE COMMUTE - Cycle, run or walk to work. It’s healthy and inexpensive. TELEWORK - Use today’s technology to your advantage. Teleworking accentuates the positives and eliminates the negatives of traditional office work. Overhead and real estate costs are reduced, and employees are happier and more efficient. COMPRESSED WORK WEEK - If carefully implemented, a compressed work week can have a dramatic effect on the morning and evening peak commute periods. Alternative work hours can be part of a comprehensive workplace trip reduction strategy, and a benefit to both employers and employees. FLEXIBLE WORK HOURS - This option can include earned days off, flex time, staggered and reduced work hours.
