Everyone is looking for an easier commute.
Diamond Winners are helping their employees find new and better ways to get to work.

And, through the transportation alternatives and work options these employers offer, they are helping to keep Puget Sound moving–across bridges, through downtown streets, and along highways that connect the hearts of our cities with our ever-growing suburbs.

Click on the Diamond Award and Diamond Ring winners for a look at the commuting programs of these 16 King County leaders. Diamond-award winning programs motivate employees to ride or drive with someone else, take the bus, ride a bike, walk, telework, or compress their workweeks.
