Promote your Commuter Benefits

This is key to the active usage of the program and achieving a change in commuting behavior. There are many ways we can assist you, including:

  • On-site events: Invite us to set up a GoTriangle table at health fairs, benefits fairs, new hire orientations or employee appreciation days, or any time you’d like.
  • Print Materials: We design and provide posters, postcards, paycheck inserts, brochures, etc. That’s one less thing on your plate. See what’s available now.
  • Electronic communications: We provide you with articles and information updates for your e-mail or online communications. You can also include a link to GoTriangle.org on your intranet site.
  • Commuter Campaigns: GoTriangle sponsors several annual commuter campaigns in which your worksite can participate. These are great opportunities to get your employees to try a new way to get to work.
  • Register for a Free Emergency Ride Home (ERH): A common concern we hear is that employees want to have a vehicle in case of an emergency or unplanned overtime. We have a solution for them, and it’s FREE! It’s called Emergency Ride Home. Register your worksite online so that your employees can take advantage of this service if they need it - it’s easy and will only take a minute...
