irideshare rewards

iRideShare Rewards is designed to provide incentives for employees who use sustainable transportation when commuting to and from work. Employees record trips made by foot, bike, carpool, vanpool, bus or telecommute into their personal calendars at rideshare.org and then redeem points for a variety of gift certificates. Rideshare administers the program and passes the savings gained by ordering items in bulk to participating employers. The incentive program costs $2 per month per employee participating in the program and the cost of redeemed incentives. View the iRideShare Rewards Program overview for more information..

who should provide iRideShare Rewards

iRideShare Rewards is ideal for businesses and organizations that don’t just talk the talk, but walk the walk (pun intended). There are a lot of ways to be “green” and transportation is an important piece of that puzzle, especially in San Luis Obispo County. In April 2010, the Green House Gas Emissions Inventory of San Luis Obispo County indicated that 63.4% of emissions come from transportation!

If you’d like to position yourself as a sustainable organization, iRideShare Rewards will help you achieve measurable reductions in Green House Gas Emissions by encouraging positive changes in employee commute habits. Unlike sustainable strategies that involve building modifications or green technology, iRideShare Rewards uses your most important asset, your employees. As a result, you’ll not only reduce Green House Gas Emissions, but you’ll add “green” to your employee’s wallets through commute costs savings, encourage healthier lifestyles and experience an increase in employee morale. iRideShare Rewards is for the employer who can think outside the box (or building).
