The purpose of the survey is to discover what methods we currently use to commute and what \ alternative methods are of most interest. The survey is requi red by Department of Environmental Quality’s Employee Commute Options (ECO) rules.

ECO requires employers to provide employees with incentives to use alternatives to driving alone to work. The results of the survey will be used by (company name) to design a transportation program that reflects the needs and desires of (company name) employees. We must receive completed surveys back from at least 75 percent of (company name) employees to meet the requirements.

We will share the results with you in the employee newsletter when they are completed.
