ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Center for Urban Transportation Research confirmed that “CALIBRE is a Best Workplace for Commuters.” The designation indicates that CALIBRE met the National Standard of Excellence in commuter benefits – a standard created by the National Center for Transit Research and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to recognize employers that offer commuter options that improve employees’ quality of life.

The company offers an array of benefits that help employees pursue environmentally friendly and cost-effective commuting strategies. As part of the company’s comprehensive commuter benefits program, CALIBRE offers commuting options and support services such as non-taxable cash incentives for employees using public transit systems, cash incentives for carpoolers and vanpoolers, telecommuting programs, and flexible work schedules.

CALIBRE is involved in environmentally friendly commuting initiatives, whenever possible. For example, the Metro Park campus participated in Bike to Work Day in May 2011, offering complementary food and drinks to registered bikers.

“By providing a flexible work environment and offering commuter benefits, such as telework opportunities, we are encouraging many employees to switch from drive-alone commuting to options that help relieve traffic, air pollution, and stress,” states Mr. Joseph A. Martore, CALIBRE’s President & CEO.

The results of CALIBRE’s efforts will be reflected in the environment and in the bottom line. CALIBRE’s programs reduce commuting costs not only for its employees, but also benefit all commuters by reducing the number of cars on the road and reducing traffic congestion.
