Metrowest Chamber of Commerce

Green commuting can help your business as well as the environment. Whether it’s carpooling, vanpooling or biking, commuters are eligible for tax benefits of up to $230 a month. You can use this money for Transit Passes on the MBTA or MWRTA, bicycle purchases or other transportation needs. 

 

In addition, companies that take advantage of these programs through their human resources departments can lower their total taxable payroll and save even more. 

 

The MetroWest Transportation Management Association can show you and your company how to save big money this year. We specialize in helping you find a carpool/vanpool partner, or show you how best to use public transportation.

 

Last year, the MetroWest TMA worked with individuals to save over five million vehicle miles traveled. But that’s not enough. The EPA Middlesex County Air Quality Index still shows an elevated PM (unhealthy particulate matter), and last year 7% of our days were categorized as unhealthy or moderate in terms of air quality. 

 

But together we can change this trend and save money while we do it. If you’re interested in exploring commuting options, encourage your company to join the Transportation Management Association and take full advantage of all of the great opportunities available to you.
