At VTA, we don’t just advocate for smarter, greener commuting—we live it. That’s why we’re proud to announce that VTA has earned the Best Workplace for Commuters (BWC) certification, recognizing our commitment to supporting sustainable, convenient, and flexible transportation options for our employees.
The certification is a national acknowledgment of workplaces that go above and beyond to make commuting easier, safer, and more accessible. For VTA employees, that commitment translates into tangible benefits designed to make every trip smoother. Staff can enjoy free family transit passes to get around the Bay Area without worrying about traffic or parking. For cyclists, we offer secure bike lockers and storage, making it easy to pedal to work and keep your bike protected.
Life happens and sometimes commuting plans go awry. That’s why VTA provides a Guaranteed Ride Home program, ensuring employees can get home quickly and safely in case of emergencies, unexpected overtime, or missed connections. And for those juggling flexible schedules or multi-leg commutes, the VTACommute app helps employees plan routes, track rides, and optimize commuting options—whether by bus, train, bike, or a combination.
Being recognized as a Best Workplace for Commuters isn’t just an honor—it’s proof that VTA practices what we preach. Every policy, program, and perk reflects our dedication to reducing congestion, lowering emissions, and supporting employees’ health, safety, and work-life balance.
At VTA, commuting isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about creating a workplace culture that values accessibility, sustainability, and flexibility. And now, thanks to the BWC certification, we can proudly say we’re walking—or biking, riding, and tapping—our talk.
Best Workplaces for Commuters® (BWC™) is the national authority on recognizing and supporting employers that offer exceptional commuter benefits. The BWC program is managed by the Center for Urban Transportation Research at the University of South Florida.
