TDM for Employers

An easily accessible business is a more successful business. That's why employers throughout Boulder offer low-cost transportation options for employees.

The Bicycle Commuter Act
Employers can offer up to $20 per month to employees who regularly commute to work by bicycle (and who do not receive any transit or parking benefits) to offset the cost of bicycle repairs, purchases or storage:

• Official Language of the Bicycle Commuter Act
• Bicycle Commuter Tax Provision: Frequently Asked Questions - from the League of American Bicyclists.

Qualified Transit/Vanpool Tax Benefit
Employers can also offer up to $230 per month for employees who commute by transit, including vanpools. Employees can deduct up to $230 per month from their pre-tax income to pay for their transit commutes or eligible commuter parking expenses.

Business Eco Pass
The Eco Pass program gives your employees unlimited rides on most RTD services, including buses in Boulder's Community Transit Network. The pass also includes the Guaranteed Ride Home program, making it even easier for your employees to choose public transportation.

Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC) Network
ETCs are company representatives who help encourage their coworkers to explore transportation options. For more information, visit the ETC Network page.
