The Diamond Award Winners

Their transportation programs make it easy for employees to ride or drive with someone else, take the bus, ride a bike or walk. Plus, they offer innovative options such as telework and compressed workweeks to keep their employees off the road.

Did you hear? In addition, Diamond Award winner Korry Electronics, the six Diamond Ring winners, and the Washington State Dept of Transportation's Northwest Regional Office were named recipients of the Governor's CommuteSmart Awards June 5.

Don't miss the Year 2000 Pacesetters—their transportation programs also reduce employee commute trips.

Finding and keeping the best employees—and expanding the labor pool of employee prospects

Increasing the workforce without investing in more office or production space

Reducing the need for employee parking

Saving money on taxes

Speeding the delivery of goods and services

Creating a better quality of life by lessening the stress of commuting and contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment
