Webinar: Introduction to Best Workplaces for Commuters
"Best
Workplaces for Commuters" is an innovative program that provides qualified
employers with national recognition and an elite designation for offering
outstanding commuter benefits, such as free or low cost bus passes, strong
telework programs, carpooling matching and vanpool subsidies. Employers
that meet the National
Standard of Excellence in commuter benefits—a standard created
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency—can get on the list of
Best Workplaces for Commuters. Best Workplaces for Commuters demonstrates
that alternatives to drive-alone commuting, such as transit, carpools, and
teleworking are economically beneficial, yielding value to workers, employers,
and our environment.
In
early 2008, we will hold a free web seminar or “webinar”
to introduce Best Workplaces for Commuters to the Tampa Bay community. A
webinar is a PowerPoint presentation viewed over the Internet with the audio
piece of the presentation heard via touch-tone telephone—like a conference
call. It is an effective strategy for reducing vehicle trips, too.
A
copy of the PowerPoint presentation will be provided prior to the event.
The approximately 1 hour webinar will allow you to attend a technical presentation
from the comfort of your desk or for an unlimited number of people in your
organization to attend the session at one time and in one place. Plenty
of time will be available for frequently asked questions.
