February is American Heart Month! Take advantage of your commute by incorporating physical activity on your way to work or during the workday! Here are three ways to get more exercise while commuting.
Where do your employees live? Most businesses and HR professionals probably already have a good idea where most of their staff resides, and could easily find that information in their records. However, what if you had a visual that showed you all of the staff’s home zip codes? Chances are, you might be surprised by what you see!
ATP works with a variety of employers in the county that range in size and industry, from large government contractors to small, independent daycare facilities, and we understand that it can take time and money to implement and manage a commuter benefits program for employees. However, we’ve found that many of the nonprofits in Arlington have gone above and beyond to make commuting easier for employees while encouraging a healthy and socially engaged culture throughout the organization.
It's no secret that we love Capital Bikeshare around here. We've routinely shared information about the system, and some of the great tools and apps that have been developed, some by our friends at Mobility Lab, to help the system grow and flourish. This week saw the release of another new application, using Capital Bikeshare's rich stream of user data. The new app is called Bikeshare IQ, and was developed by Zach Rausnitz.
