Employees who live within 5 miles of the work site are good candidates for walking, <br /> bicycling, and transit.

(Select up to 3) <br /> (Table 11) <br /> This question tells you which commute alternatives your employees are most willing to consider. Use <br /> this information to develop incentives and services to promote the most popular alternatives. For many <br /> employers, the most common answer is carpooling. Facilitating carpooling means matching employees <br /> and helping them to overcome obstacles to ridesharing. If transit use seems to have good potential, <br />
