Carpooling
By carpooling you keep pollutants out of our air and reduce traffic. Employers can encourage carpooling by offering ridematch services for their employees. Free ridematch services are available through the NTCAC Transit Partners: DART and The T.
Consult your insurance professional for any insurance savings available.
Vanpooling
Vanpooling is great for everyone. Vanpools are made up of 6-15 employees who live and work near each other, and may have little or no access to bus or rail service.
Guaranteed Ride Home
Employers can also offer a guaranteed ride home for carpoolers/vanpoolers. This allows employees an opportunity to get a ride home in case of an emergency.
Mass Transit
Mass transit is one of the easiest ways to remove cars and truck from roads, which helps air quality and congestion.

Bicycle/Pedestrian
Bicycling and walking are cost-effective ways to commute.
Tax Benefits
Besides helping air quality, traffic congestion and employee morale, you and your employees can benefit from tax savings. A 2009 tax chart is available here - TAX CHART - Please consult a tax professional to receive the maximum benefit by law.
Telecommuting
Telecommuting, or teleworking, allows employees to work from home or a remote location closer to home. Research shows the telecommuters are 10-20% more productive than office workers.
Let the NTCAC staff help you put together a teleworking program at your business.
Flexible Scheduling
This program helps reduce typical rush hour traffic by staggering work hours during the week.
