July 2, 2003 -- Washington, DC- The Government Printing Office has been placed on the first-ever list of 2003 Greater Washington DC Region's Best Workplaces for Commuters, a program that spotlights employers that are committed to improving quality of life for their employees while reducing traffic congestion and air pollution.
"The GPO is committed to saving our employees time and money and is proud to provide them with excellent commuter benefits, including a monthly transit subsidy of up to $100, preferred parking for commuters, alternate work schedules, ridesharing benefits and more," said Public Printer Bruce James.
The Greater Washington DC Region's Best Workplaces for Commuters Coalition invited thousands of employers in the region to apply. Only seventy-six employers representing more than 71,000 employees qualified as Greater Washington DC Region's Best Workplaces for Commuters.
The Best Workplaces for Commuters coalition includes the Department of Transportation, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, among others.
