ETC

What is ETC?

The Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC) program is a resource for employers to offer transit information and benefits to their employees. Think of it like a partnership with CATS.

How Does ETC Work?

Encouraging co-workers to use commute options available at their site.
Acting as the company contact for commuting issues.
Informing CATS marketing staff about how your organization can be better served.
Getting commuting information into newsletters, emails, websites, and hiring material.
Promoting commuting events at organization locations.
Arranging for CATS marketing staff to conduct transportation fairs at the workplace.
Offering employees telecommute options and flexible work schedules
