In the Workplace
Active and sustainable modes of transportation enhance employee productivity, health and job satisfaction.
- Increase productivity. Active commuters saved an average of 107 minutes per day between commute time reductions and fewer home office distractions. 74% of telecommuters in that study reported an increase in their productivity, with 85% of managers also noticing a productivity increase from their telecommuting workers (McCune, 2011).
- Reduce sick days. Healthy commuters are more relaxed at the workplace and take fewer days off sick.
- Reduce workplace accidents. Healthy commuters are more alert and adept at work.
- Enhance public image. Employers who promote and facilitate the well being of employees, communities, and the environment enjoy greater loyalty and respect from employees and customers alike.

- Calories: 55 per KM
- Co2 = Potential Co2 – Co2 Emitted
Potential Co2 = Total KM * 0.2242 (assumes mid size car/gas) o Co2 Emitted = Total KM * [Emission Factor based on Mode]
Emission factors – Drive: 0.2242 – Carpool (2 people): 0.1121
- Fuel saved = Total KM / 100 * [Fuel Factor]
Fuel Factors – Drive: 0 – Carpool (2 people): 3.17 – Carpool (3+): 4.75 – Scooter: 7.5 – Transit: 8.9183 – All other modes: 9.5
