Workplace Ambassador Meeting

Workplace Ambassador Network

The purpose of the Workplace Ambassador Network (WAN) is to help member business employees encourage coworkers to choose “green” transportation options such as carpooling, riding transit, bicycling, vanpooling, teleworking or walking.

The role of a Workplace Ambassador is unique for each organization. Depending on how your co-workers currently commute and the options available, different options will work better than others. We will work with you to understand which transportation options work best for your organization.

What is a Workplace Ambassador?

A Workplace Ambassador is a company representative who promotes transportation options within their company. Workplace Ambassadors are most effective when they receive support from upper level management. This may include an annual budget for the WAN program, or the freedom to spend time outside their usual job to work on transportation-related projects
