The Smart Commute Program provides tools and resources to support and incentivize cycling, walking, carpooling, public transit, and alternative working arrangements (e.g., remote work) as sustainable options to commuting.
Through this customized, year-round program, Halton Hills workplace employees can commute more sustainably, reduce their parking demand and commuting costs, and help Halton Hills employers attract and retain key talent.
Smart Commute Halton Municipalities is serviced by pointA, a non-profit that has been helping businesses commute more sustainably for more than 20 years.
