Employer Recognition Event
The New Jersey
Department of Transportation
(NJDOT) and New Jersey's
eight Transportation
Management Associations
(TMA) will honor employers who
have voluntarily implemented
outstanding commuter benefit
programs to encourage their
respective employees to
use transit, vanpools,
carpools and bicycling
and telecommuting at their
individual Annual Meetings
in 2010. Use of these alternative
modes can save
employees time and money
while reducing traffic
congestion and improving
air quality.
Eligible employer programs include those that provide either alternative commuting options, such as free or low-cost bus passes, telecommuting programs, carpool matching and vanpool subsidies, or information services such as transit information and traffic alerts.
Applicants are evaluated by TMAs according to their ability to meet program criteria. All qualifying companies demonstrate commendable performance in providing commuter benefits. Companies performing at higher levels receive a higher level of recognition.
In 2010,
429 companies will be
honored. 95
companies will receive
New Jersey Smart Workplaces Platinum certificates,
104 companies will receive Gold certificates,
106 companies will receive Silver certificates
and 124 companies will receive Bronze certificates.
