Ahead of Fortify, Raleigh Businesses Offering Workers ‘Smarter Commuting’ Options
(NCDOT Press Release – May 22, 2015)
As crews get closer to shifting lanes on Interstate 40 in the Fortify I-40/440 work zone in Raleigh, some local businesses are helping their employees avoid the potential impact on their workday.
"A number of the region’s leading companies are committed to promoting travel options to improve their employees’ quality of life – including flexible work schedules, transit passes and telework from home,” said Joe Milazzo, executive director of the Regional Transportation Alliance.
Among those companies, Milazzo says, are Cisco Systems, Citrix, GlaxoSmithKline, IBM, NetApp, Quintiles and Red Hat, which last year began offering employees an option to trade in their parking passes for GoPasses – an employer investment that allows workers to travel on area buses for free.
