RideFinders Offers Smart Transportation Solutions for Area Businesses
Introducing alternative commute modes as a business solution is one of the core goals of RideFinders. RideFinders works with local governments, Chambers of Commerce, mass transit advocates, and employers to address their specific alternative transportation concerns.
Currently RideFinders works with over 400 Employee Transportation Coordinators (ETCs) that assist in promoting ridesharing, teleworking, and/or alternate work hours to co-workers at various worksites throughout the region. ETCs work with RideFinders to provide various services to their organizations. RideFinders’ services to these companies include: commuter information sessions, density plot analysis, employee surveys, commute program design, marketing, distribution of air quality brochures and alerts, and program administrative assistance.
RideFinders currently works with 52 plus federal, state, and private companies that provide transportation benefits to employees under the Commuter Choice Program, a program of the Internal Revenue Code that allows employers to assist employees with transit and vanpool commute costs. RideFinders aids in the development and implementation of the initial programs, supports the ongoing programs, and provides hands-on assistance when programs transition from one level of service to another, and delivers the requested inventory to the businesses for distribution to their employees who ride the bus or participate in vanpool.
RideFinders has either spearheaded or hosted Transportation Fairs at many employer sites to include: The Southport Association, Mondial Assistance, the Virginia Department of Health, Providence Middle School, and Innsbrook.
