Achieved Original Mode Split Goal
Largely due to the pandemic, we achieved our goal of a 12% mode split several years early. Lessons learned from our experience during the pandemic are being applied to our new reality in an effort to maintain this progress.
Upcoming Efforts

We will continue to expand employee participation in this program by communicating about benefits and offering education about sustainable commuting. To sign up, go to https://staff.bestcare.org/commute-with-care-program.
