OneCommute Partners with Uber for Ride Home Program, Revolutionizing Alternative Commutes
Milton, GA, July 10, 2023
OneCommute, a leading provider of commuter platforms, is excited to announce its partnership with Uber, a global leader in on-demand transportation options. OneCommute, now integrated with Uber, is launching an innovative Ride Home Program designed to help companies increase participation in alternative commutes while providing employees with a stress-free transportation solution.
With the growing demand for sustainable and efficient commuting options, organizations have been seeking ways to incentivize employees to choose alternative modes of transportation such as transit, carpooling, and vanpooling. OneCommute’s partnership with Uber aims to address the challenges faced by employers, Transportation Management Associations (TMAs), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and Property Operators in implementing Ride Home or Last Mile Home Programs.
Traditionally, the process of issuing vouchers, submitting receipts, or relying on call centers to facilitate Ride Home and Last Mile Home Programs have been costly and time-consuming. Recognizing this need for a streamlined and user-friendly solution, OneCommute has developed a seamless integration with Uber that leverages a simple-to-use mobile application.
The OneCommute and Uber partnership now gives employees access to an easy Ride Home Program that they can depend on. This program not only encourages employees to embrace alternative commute options, but also provides them with the peace of mind that they have a convenient and dependable way to request a ride home. The availability of Uber’s options for transportation, eliminates one of the primary concerns for employees when considering alternative commuting methods.
Employers also stand to benefit from this partnership. By offering the OneCommute Ride Home Program, now integrated with Uber, companies can enhance their employee benefits package with an innovative solution that promotes sustainable commuting. This partnership simplifies the process for employers, reducing operating costs and administrative burdens associated with managing traditional Ride Home Programs.
“OneCommute is thrilled to join forces with Uber to revolutionize the way companies approach alternative commuting,” said Steve Wheeler, CEO of OneCommute. “Our partnership will empower employers to provide their employees with a stress-free Ride Home Program, fostering a culture of sustainability and employee well-being. Together, we aim to reshape the future of commuting.”
The OneCommute Ride Home Program, now integrated with Uber, is an exciting development in the transportation industry, providing organizations with an effective tool to boost participation in alternative commutes while simultaneously streamlining operations and reducing costs.
