Overview
New Jersey Smart Workplaces (NJSW) recognizes and honors organizations and individuals who help reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality by providing commuter benefits to employees. The program is a voluntary partnership of participating employers, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), NJ TRANSIT and the state's Transportation Management Associations (TMA).
NJDOT recognizes participants by designating them platinum, gold, silver and bronze awardees.
NJSW helps employers attract and retain employees by reducing commuting costs and stress. Employers participate by offering outstanding commuter benefits such as free or low-cost bus passes, strong telecommuting programs, carpool matching and vanpool subsidies. |
Vanpoolers arrive at work. |
NJSW demonstrates that alternatives to drive-alone commuting, such as transit, carpools and telecommuting are economically beneficial to workers, employers and the environment.
To participate in the program, employers must meet the requirements for bronze, silver, gold or platinum designation.
An application to participate is now available online or applicants may print the New Jersey Smart Workplaces Nomination Application (pdf 337k) and mail it to their local TMA.
