Employer Services for the Washington, D.C. Area

The workday doesn't begin when employees arrive at the office or job site. For many employees, the day begins hours earlier, and by the time they officially start work they've already endured a long, stressful commute. The relative difficulty or ease of getting to and from work affects recruitment, morale, and productivity, and can have a serious impact on business.

Employers can play a key role in making the commute easier for their employees by providing information about and incentives to use commuting options such as carpooling, public transportation, bicycling, walking, and telework. In the D.C. area and throughout the country, communities and employers are working together to provide employees with customized commuting solutions. Visit the Arlington Transportation Partners (ATP) website for more information, or contact the employer services agency for your community listed below. (ATP provides employer services for Arlington County employers, but their website is a great resource for other employers as well.)
