Encourage Taking the Bus or Riding the Lynx to Work
 Want to lose weight, reduce stress, save money and help the environment?
Consider taking the bus or riding the Lynx to work!
It has been shown that taking the bus to work can help you lose weight. Just
walking the short distance to and from the bus stop can help you get in your
physical activity each day. Also, sitting in traffic increases stress. You can
save money on gas, parking fees and wear and tear on your car by taking the bus
or riding the Lynx.
One of the most critical aspects of ridesharing, transit's guaranteed ride
home service keeps employees on the move even when unexpected situations occur.
Employees that spend more than 30 minutes a day in commuting traffic arrive to
work stressed and anxious. Encourage employees to take the bus or ride the Lynx
to arrive at work relaxed and ready to begin their workday.
Employers can provide discounted or free bus or Lynx passes to employees to
encourage use. They can also give them rewards for not using valuable parking
spaces at work.
Contact your Fit City Worksite Wellness
Coordinator to schedule a visit from a CATS or Lynx representative to help your employees
learn more about their commuting options.
