CTR SERVICES

Employers with more than 100 employees may be affected by the Washington State Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law and may be required to provide a transportation program for their employees. We offer fee-for-service to create and manage these programs and can even serve as a company's Employee Transportation Coordinator or “ETC.”

Why should employers pay attention to how their employees travel to work?
The daily commute plays a major role in shaping an employee’s mood, performance, and long-term job commitment. When getting to work is simple and stress-free, it boosts morale, productivity, and retention—factors that ultimately influence an organization’s overall success.

Learning From the Workforce
When employers take the time to understand how their staff commute, they can develop solutions that shorten travel time, increase safety, and support a healthier work–life balance. These improvements translate into a more satisfied and engaged workforce.

Connect Bellevue partners with employers to help their teams access sustainable commuting choices and active transportation options. By doing so, employers can strengthen retention, lower recruitment and onboarding costs, and lessen their organization’s environmental footprint.
