Commuter Benefits
To serve 2,200 employees and contractors, as well as up to 300 visitors - EPA built only 1,800 parking spaces. This is hundreds of spaces less than local zoning required. Needless to say, parking was a concern. But EPA's aggressive marketing and support for alternative transportation has encouraged about 20% of staff and contractors to use these modes of transportation: In a region with suburban sprawl and abundant free parking, this has been quite remarkable. The result - 1,800 parking spaces are more than sufficient, and the EPA campus has been recognized as a "Best Workplace for Commuters." |
