Thank you for your interest in the Clean Air Partnership of Middle Tennessee Employer Partner program. One of CAP’s goals is to focus on developing partnerships with employers who are interested in offering their employees “cleaner” ways to get to work. We know that every business is unique, and that one commuter program does not fit all. That’s why we take a client-based approach to developing an employer’s commuter program.
When you sign up, we will:
- Set up a meeting
- Assess your worksite
- Work with you to design a program that will provide the greatest benefit to you and your employees
Providing commuting options to employees makes good business sense, and it means fewer cars on the road and better air quality for us all.
Levels of Participation
Community Partner
Community Partners work with the Clean Air Partnership to provide information about commuting options to their member organizations, residents and other interested parties that make up a Community Partner’s network. Community Partners are typically groups such as associations, chambers of commerce, nonprofit member organizations and neighborhood associations.
Bronze Partner
Bronze Partners work with the Clean Air Partnership to customize their companies’ commuter program. This involves:
- Designating a CAP Program Coordinator at the worksite to serve as a liaison between CAP and the employer.
- Notifying employees via fliers, intranet or e-mail of air quality action days.
- Implementing a commuting options education program and encouraging employees to share rides to work.
Benefits: Bronze award certificate, recognition in quarterly newsletter
Silver Partner
In addition to meeting all Bronze-level criteria, employers become a Silver Partner by:
- Outlining the company’s clean air plans for the year, and describing how those plans will be achieved.
- Achieving at least three of the Silver Partner criteria, which includes providing preferential parking at the worksite for carpools and/or vanpools, selling transit passes on-site, supporting a walk/bike program, and allowing alternative work arrangements such as telecommuting and compressed workweeks.
Benefits: Silver award plaque, your company’s profile on our Web site, recognition at Clean Air Partnership events and seminars
Gold Partner
In addition to meeting Bronze- and Silver-level criteria, employers become a Gold Partner by:
- Submitting a participation report to the Clean Air Partnership, which will include a description of the company’s program, the level of employee participation, and the overall results of the project.
- Completing at least three of the Gold Partner criteria, which includes providing ongoing parking subsidies to carpoolers/vanpoolers, providing ongoing transit pass subsidies, and implementing a formalized telecommuting program.
