Employer services
Better commutes make happier employees.
Your employees' commute shapes the workday before it even begins. Stressful, long drives chip away at morale and productivity, and can have a real impact on retention long-term. And if that's not reason enough to rethink your commute benefits, solo driving takes a real toll on Colorado's air quality and traffic congestion.
Way to Go is here to help your team get to work and beyond, the Colorado Way.

Alternative transportation options matched to the workforce
RTD EcoPass
RTD’s EcoPass programs gives commuters the option to use Denver's transit network at no cost, getting them to work and beyond, from the airport to sports venues and cultural events. Way to Go can help employers, neighborhoods and apartment buildings evaluate whether EcoPass is the right fit.
Biking
Way to Go commute consultants can provide biking resources, information about city and state e-bike rebate programs available to employees, and guide employers in building a bike-friendly workplace with amenities like secure bike storage, showers and repair stations to make biking to work a realistic option for your team.
Carpool
Through a custom carpool matching program or the MyWayToGo.org commute tracking and incentive platform, employees can connect with other commuters in their office and neighborhood to carpool to the office and more. Way to Go commute consultants will guide employers through setting up an internal carpool program for your organization.
Vanpool
For employees who live more than 15 miles from the office, vanpooling is a smart alternative to solo driving–particularly for shift workers. Way to Go's vanpool program provides the vehicle, insurance, fuel and maintenance. Vanpoolers select their own drivers and split the monthly fare equally, or employers can choose to subsidize the cost.
Guaranteed Ride Home
Employees who choose alternative transportation shouldn't have to worry about getting home quickly in an emergency. Guaranteed Ride Home is a low-cost program for employers to provide employees with an Uber ride home when they need it most, giving employees confidence to leave their car at home.
