Carpool and Vanpool

Carpooling is two or more people going together in one vehicle to their destination.  Carpooling is easy because few people are involved; a carpool is flexible and can usually accommodate everyone’s needs.  In a carpool, you save on gas and reduce wear and tear on a vehicle.

Telework

Telework brings work to employees through technology rather than bringing employees to work by traveling. Teleworkers are employees who work at home one or more days each week instead of commuting to the office.   Employers that offer telework programs benefit from increased employee productivity, reduced overhead costs, and decreased demands for office and parking space.

The Denver Regional Council of Government provides free telework consultations to metro Denver businesses.  For more information, please contact Catherine at catherine@36commutingsolutions.org.
