How can I encourage residents to participate? What are Community Transportation Programs? Community Transportation Programs consist of a variety of services that increase awareness of and access to transportation options for a residential community. Examples of Community Transportation Programs include: - Surveying tenants to better understand their transportation habits and needs.
- Working with Arlington Transportation Partners (ATP) to custom design a Transportation Plan to maximize the value of your location.
- Distributing bus maps, Metro maps, carpooling forms, bike maps and a variety of other transit information to residents.
- Arranging for the Mobile Commuter Store to come to your complex and make it easy for residents to obtain transit passes, tickets and information.
What are the advantages of offering Community Transportation Programs? Making your community more accessible increases the value of your location to both current residents and potential tenants. According to Arlington County property management personnel, proximity and accessibility to work are the top concerns on the minds of potential tenants. Providing services that improve commuting, relieve stress, reduce commuting costs and increase convenience benefits your residents, your leasing staff and your environment. How does ATP help? ATP makes setting up Community Transportation Programs simple by working with residential communities every step of the way to determine which programs will best suit your community's needs. We then incorporate the programs into a customized Community Transportation Plan, and work with your Community Transportation Coordinator to administer the plan.
