A workplace-based commuter program that uses various measures to reduce drive-alone commuter trips. On-line carpool matching, payroll deductions on transit passes, active transportation programs and infrastructure (i.e., bike racks, lockers, showers), telecommuting program and policy, Carpool parking, lotteries for transit tickets, Green Commuter newsletters, competitions and events are only some of the components that can be part of a Trip Reduction Program (TRP). A TRP is like a pizza; any combinations of ingredients can be used to make a great meal. The key to a successful commuter trip reduction program is management support for whatever incentives are feasible for the workplace.
