Greening Your Employees’ Commute

Join us for a workshop covering different ways to incentivize employees to take other forms of transportation, and what considerations unique to WNY must be taken into account.

This panel discussion is ideal for:  Sustainability Directors, Sustainability / Environmental Consultants, Environmental Compliance Officers, Environment Health & Safety Professionals, Human Resources Personnel, Sustainability Managers, Facilities Managers who deal with parking, bike facilities, clearing sidewalks, charging stations etc.

Did you know that the average American has a work commute of about 25 minutes each way, and flies about 17 hours per year? When remote employees are returning to their workplaces after a sudden shift to remote, companies have a golden opportunity to encourage employees to lower commuting emissions.

You will learn about:

–  Commuter programs for businesses

– Infrastructure considerations when installing electric charging stations

– Pros and cons of telecommuting

– Resources available to employers encourage the use of alternative forms of transportation

– How implementation of these programs can contribute to a safe and equitable community for your business and its surrounding area
