In addition to events in Fairfax County and Richmond, I met one-on-one with several BWC employers, sites, colleges and universities. We even welcomed two new BWC members!

To qualify, an employer must offer one primary benefit, such as employer-paid tax-free transit or vanpool passes, teleworking, bicycling or cash instead of parking. Employers must also offer three supporting benefits, choosing from options such as shuttles to and from transit stations (provided directly by the employer or contracted through a service), ridesharing or carpool matching, preferred or reduced-cost parking for carpools and vanpools, and compressed work schedules.
