Help Your Employees Welcome Spring!
Spring is right around the corner (March 20), and it is almost time for blooming flowers, warmer temperatures, and longer evenings thanks to daylight saving time. After months of snow, chilly days, and darker commutes, this season invites us to step outside, soak up the sun, and shake up our routines, which includes the way we get around.
Spring is the perfect time to help your employees rethink their commute and try something new! Whether that means implementing new commuter benefits, promoting existing programs, or building a culture around sustainable transportation, you can help your employees stay active, boost morale, and lower stress this season.
Are you ready for a springtime refresh, but not sure where to start? Here are a few ideas to get going:
Help Your Team Embrace the Season 🌱
Celebrate Active Commuting
Spring is the perfect time to highlight walking, biking, and rolling to work. Consider sharing tips in internal newsletters, promoting the goDMV Commuter Competition, or celebrating employees who try a new mode.
Host an Event with goDCgo
Did you know that goDCgo will come to your office to host a lunch and learn, attend an internal health/benefits fair, or set up in your lobby to share sustainable transportation knowledge and resources? Reach out to us to discover what type of event would work best for your organization.
Share Helpful Resources
Providing information about transit routes, bike facilities, or commuter benefits can help employees feel more confident about changing their commute. Download our bike map and other resources to make spreading the word easy.
Implement New Benefits
In the spirit of spring cleaning, take a look at your commuter benefits program and see if there are any new benefits you could implement to help your employees get to and from work sustainably. Some to think about are transit subsidies, bike & walking reimbursements, and the Capital Bikeshare Corporate program.

Spread the Word
If you already offer transit benefits, Capital Bikeshare Corporate, or another awesome sustainable transportation-related benefit, make sure your employees know about them. This spring, why not highlight your benefits in your employee newsletters, all-staff emails, staff meetings, and Slack/Teams, etc.
Encourage Flexibility
Flexible schedules can make it easier for employees to experiment with new travel options—especially as the weather improves.
