Regional Employer Trip Reduction Program
NCTCOG’s Regional Employer Trip Reduction (ETR) Program is a free educational program aimed at reducing employee commute trips by marketing alternative commute options to driving alone like carpooling, vanpooling, transit, telecommuting, flexible work-hour schedules, biking, and walking.
