A cool thing about moving to the downtown office was that I got to take the light rail into the office. That would be a cost savings in general, but then I discovered that the office here was signed up for the “Eco Pass,” which is a business/transit district program that basically gives a highly discounted transit pass to companies, who must then buy it for everyone in the office.
With Eco Pass rates going up this year, there were various concerns that it might be dropped, but …
I have received several emails regarding the R.T.D. ECO Pass 2009 rate increase, and how this may effect the employee…
PLEASE NOTE:
The increase in the ECO pass system DID affect [the company], but the company decided to pay for 100% of the increase (in addition to paying 100% of the monthly parking rate increase) so as to protect the employees from having to burden any of these costs increases.
Very cool.
