About the Workshop
This one-day workshop provides essential guidance for employers that aspire to
improve commuter options for their employees, and for those that face
commuting-related challenges (e.g. problems with parking, employee recruitment
or morale).
The workshop is designed to be offered by business groups, government agencies
or non-profit organizations to interested employers. Workshop participants may
be managers seeking to resolve commuting-related issues, or employees who are
already working to improve commuter options.
The workshop is highly participatory, while also allowing the instructor
sufficient time to explain important subjects. It is designed to be delivered
by an experienced instructor who is not necessarily an expert in transportation
issues. The instructor ideally requires two to three days of preparation time
to become familiar with the lecture content and exercises. It would be helpful
if he or she also had time to research and add in local content available from
a municipality, transit agency or other relevant organization, to make the
workshop even more valuable for participants.
One goal of the workshop is to familiarize participants with the Commuter
Options guide, so it is suggested that copies of the guide be provided to all
participants who do not bring their own. Another goal is to provide
participants with an opportunity to reflect on their own workplace situation,
and compare it against the workplaces of other participants. For these reasons,
several exercises have been included in the workshop to illustrate the
wide-ranging circumstances, goals and approaches of different workplaces.
Ultimately, participants should leave the workshop with a greater understanding
of key issues, greater comfort in tackling their “next steps”, and greater
enthusiasm for doing so.
