39The Rewards of Carpooling

Even if you do nothing but encourage your employees to carpool, you are actually setting the stage for them to receive several inherent rewards. For example, carpooling allows them to travel in carpool lanes, save wear-and-tear on their cars, save money in gas and repairs, get to know some of their coworkers, experience less stress, and help the environment.

You can make this practice even more rewarding for carpoolers by adding some incentives such as special parking and free car washes, or you can go a step further and enter all of them, plus those who take public transportation, into a monthly drawing where they can win prizes such as movie tickets, supermarket gift cards, and, of course, gasoline gift cards.
