What is commute trip reduction software and how can it help you?
Commute trip reduction (CTR) has emerged as a focused sub-topic within Smart City and Smart Mobility initiatives. Also known as “employee trip reduction” and “vehicle trip reduction,” the concept is built on providing employees with incentives and support programs designed to reduce the number of solo-driving commutes. Commute trip reduction software has become a vitally important resource for organizations that want to provide and incentivize smart mobility, using emerging technology to create maximum impact.
Taking a look at the list of the most commonly used CTR programs and strategies, it’s easy to see the value of using specialized software to manage these programs. Parking cash-out programs, transit allowances, carpool matching, guaranteed ride home programs, and point-based commuter incentive programs are all a major part of the commute trip reduction landscape. In each case, effective programs require advanced tools to track and manage the use and distribution of rewards and incentives. Program administrators also need to give commuters an easy way to log their trips to prove eligibility, all while generating targeted, data-driven insights into their employees’ changing behaviors.
