For Employers
Getting around the region for work looks different for everyone. Whether you are commuting yourself or looking for ways to support your team, here is where to start.

Point your employees to Get Moving for route planning, cost comparisons, and real options across the region.
Tools for Your Business
Supporting your employees' commute options is not just a perk. It is a practical way to cut down-time lost to traffic and parking stress, reduce your organization's transportation footprint, and give employees more control over how their day starts and ends. Regional employers, from downtown institutions to suburban manufacturers, are already testing small changes with real results: less turnover-related stress, more predictable arrivals, and a workforce that is not entirely dependent on a single mode of transportation.
Not sure where to begin? These are low-cost, low-commitment ways to start:
Flex start times: let employees shift arrival and departure by 30 to 60 minutes to avoid peak congestion and connect with transit schedules
Carpool or vanpool coordination: use West Michigan Rides's matching tool, or explore MDOT's MichiVan program for groups of six or more
GO!Bus: connect employees who need a reliable ride to work with these existing regional programs, cost-shared between employer and rider
