There is a trend towards companies offering their employees group transportation and corporate shuttle service options in Boston. Companies see the benefits of providing some relief for their employees’ daily commute, which in turn, contributes to increased productivity.
1. Increased Productivity & General Well-Being – Dealing with traffic can get tedious and contribute to stress-related health problems; once in the office, it can take an employee longer to get into work mode. Using a shuttle service gives them time to prepare for their day by checking their email or they can just relax. Once they arrive in office they are more prepared to transition over to work mode.
2. Cost Saving – According to an article in the Boston Globe the typical commuter in the Boston area spent an estimated 57.6 hours sitting in traffic last year costing $1,760. Employee shuttles offer a less expensive alternative for employees and might offer the ability for companies to save money as well. Over time it can cut down on parking lot expenses and employee mileage expenditures. You may also be eligible for tax benefits.
3. Environmentally Friendly – Offering a shuttle service is a great way to contribute to fewer vehicles on the road and thereby reduce your carbon footprint. It also helps raise awareness with your employees so they can help the environment and lower their dependence on fossil fuel.
4. Company Incentive for Recruiting & Retention – Offering your employees a shuttle service creates an incentive for them to work with you because they not only save on fuel expenses but they are less stressed when they get to work. It is also a great way for them to interact with their co-workers and feel more connected to their workplace
Corporate shuttles provide an opportunity for employees to interact with their co-workers.

I really like that you mentioned that having a shuttle offers employees some time to relax and prepare for the day. I often see shuttles on the way to work and started wondering if my job might offer something like that for us. Thanks for the information-I’ll be sure to bring it up to my boss and see what he thinks!
Yes, it is a win win for everyone! This can be an incentive for recruiting employees and a great way to connect with your fellow employees!
I appreciate that you talked about the benefits of employee shuttles to increased productivity and employees’ well-being because it lessens the stress of dealing with traffic. Personally, I think that this is a great idea to have more productive workers because people are more productive when they’re in a good mood. I’ll share this article with my superiors so they can consider getting a shuttle service for the employees. Thanks!
I agree, we can’t underestimate the amount of stress that the daily commute puts on employees and I think it’s something more and more employees are looking at.
