transportation
Ride To Work connects workforce development agencies, employers, and employees to third party transportation providers.
Van Share
The Commute with Enterprise “van share” model allows employees themselves to be responsible for their vehicles. Employees make arrangements for pick-ups and drop-offs of their co-workers who share the same work shift and site. These “worker” drivers, along with one of their co-workers who serves as their backup driver, are responsible for getting everyone to work on time and home safely. Drivers, in return for their services, are able to use the vehicles for personal use up to a predetermined amount of mileage each month.
Shuttle Service
RTW contracts with local third-party transportation services to provide versatility for our customers. Our primary partner is GPS Transportation. GPS provides a variety of transports including handicap vehicles, trained professional drivers, and logistical support. Our partners give us the versatility in types of transportation services we can provide our customers, as well as the geographical reach that may be needed.
Ride Share
For smaller employee pools, commercial ride-sharing services like UBER or Lyft are viable alternatives to either van pools or route pickups. The challenge for most employees in the target population is their lack of access to smartphone technology. This prohibits or greatly inhibits their ability to order and set up UBER accounts. RTW dispatchers can order UBER rides for groups of employees who are all destined for the same work location. RTW dispatchers handle the scheduling, logistics, and follow-up for all rides.
