The Breeze works with employers to implement programs, such as ridematching and carpooling, park-and-ride services, vanpooling, flexible work hours, parking policies and many others, to address traffic problems during peak travel times and at especially congested sites. Use of such programs by employees can result in the following significant benefits for employers.

Savings in construction and maintenace of parking facilities- The average cost of a single parking space a surface lot is $10,000-$15,000. Costs for spaces in decks are as much as double.

Availablity of valuable land for other uses- If land is not needed for parking it can be utilized for expansion or other more profitable uses.

Participation in Federal Tax Incentive Programs for Qualifying Transportation Fringe Benefits-  Provide employees with up to $100 per month to pay for transit passes or vanpool fares. Your contribution requires no payroll taxes and is deductable from your corporate taxes; or offer your employees the opportunity to set aside pre-tax dollars.

Use as a Recruitment and Retention Tool- Expand your range of benfits to draw and keep top employees.

Improved Employee Attendance, Timeliness, and Productivity- Employees who use alternative transportation tend to be at work on time and ready to work.

Enhanced Employer Image Among Employees, Customers, and the Community- Be viewed as a progressive, community-oriented organization.
