Take a look at these best practices. Ask yourself:

• Is my business already doing this?

• Could this be a future improvement for us?

These actions can help reduce your transportation impact:

• Incentives for Alternative Transportation – Offer perks like transit pass subsidies, bike reimbursements, or carpool bonuses to support greener commutes.

• Support Remote Work – Let employees work from home when possible to reduce commuting emissions and improve work-life balance.

• Use Virtual Meetings – Replace travel with video calls and online meetings to cut down on business travel emissions and save time.

• Bike Parking & Lockers – Provide safe bike storage and lockers to make cycling a more practical commute option.

• EV Charging Stations – Install electric vehicle chargers or share info about nearby stations to encourage the use of cleaner vehicles.

• Efficient Delivery Routes – Review and adjust shipping routes to reduce miles driven and fuel use. Maximize vehicle loads to cut trips.

• No-Idling Policy – Require company vehicles and vendors to turn off engines when parked. This simple change saves fuel and cuts emissions.

• Switch to EVs or Hybrids – Use electric or hybrid vehicles for your company fleet to reduce reliance on gas and lower emissions.

• Encourage Carpooling – Help staff connect for ride-sharing and offer perks like preferred parking for carpools.

• Partner with Transit Services – Work with local transit agencies to offer discounted or subsidized fares for employees.
