City launches innovative program to boost sustainable commuting
In a recent government meeting, updates were provided on the Commutify program, a transportation demand management initiative aimed at promoting sustainable commuting practices in Boulder. Launched on April 1st, the program encourages local companies to financially support their employees' sustainable travel through a matching funds system.

Reagan, a key speaker at the meeting, highlighted that the city matches employer contributions for employees who opt for eco-friendly commuting options. This initiative not only incentivizes sustainable travel but also allows employers to apply for a state tax credit covering 50% of their expenditures on these transportation initiatives.

As of the latest report, 22 employers are participating in the program, with around 1,200 sustainable trips recorded by approximately 40 employees. These figures indicate a growing commitment to environmentally friendly commuting practices within the community. Further details and statistics from Commutify's quarterly report were included in the meeting packet, showcasing the program's progress since its inception.
