The program honors U.S. employers and properties with a “National Standard of Excellence” designation for exceptional commuter benefits, such as shuttles, transit passes, vanpools, bicycling and parking cash-out options (enabling commuters to trade free parking for a cash equivalent).

WeDriveU congratulates client Princeton University (Princeton, NJ) on their first appearance on the list, joining AMA Plaza (Chicago, IL), Genentech (South San Francisco, CA), Northwestern University* (Chicago, IL), Oyster Point Mobility* (South San Francisco, CA), Tesla (Fremont, CA) and other clients returning as award winners for several consecutive years.

“This was a record-breaking year recognizing top employers and universities offering high-level commuter benefits,” said Julie Bond, Program Manager, Best Workplaces for Commuters. “WeDriveU and their customers raised the bar with mobility solutions that are economically and environmentally beneficial.”

BWC’s award ceremony featured a keynote from Princeton’s TigerTransit team highlighting their electrification plans (watch the replay).
