Transport What You TreasureKite’s approach to developing a comprehensive transportation program started from the ground up – rather than focusing on governmental requirements, they engaged the key stakeholders of the business, assessed the culture, and mapped the people and pain points. As a result, the transportation program addresses the needs of their employees both getting to work and around the campus and is more comprehensive in nature – a “something for everyone” model. Focusing on context-specific solutions and the modern mobility infrastructure – from scooters to Waze Carpool to fixed route transit, Kite employees can commute and travel more sustainability and comfortably – with the end result also aligning well with local regulations!

Incentives Work! (Sort of): Exploring ways to make incentives work better and budgets go furtherDriving alone is one of the most deeply ingrained default behaviors among Americans. And while we all know that incentives can be powerful tools for behavior change, they are often ineffective in shifting commuter mode choice long term. In this talk we will explore the idea of incentives, what they are, and why they can work. We will demonstrate why, in some cases, they do not work. And finally we will explore some ideas that may, when implemented as part of a robust program, make incentives more effective and allow our budgets to go further. View Details/Recording |
