As a large employer, what is Cisco doing to reduce the impact of employee commuting?
Cisco promotes alternative transportation for employees, including contributing funding for a light rail line and stop at the company headquarters in San Jose. Cisco also participates in programs to encourage use of public transit by providing information on the company’s Alt Transit site and contributing to a commuter check program that pays for a portion of employee commuting costs on public transit. Cisco also encourages telecommuting and job-sharing, which reduce the number of cars on the road.
