Proximate commuting is an employment-based commute reduction strategy that offers multi-site employers (e.g., banks, retail, post offices, government agencies, manufacturers, etc) a program for minimizing inefficient long distance commuting. Employees of multi-site employers often live closer to several other work sites of the same employer than the site where they work. Through proximate commuting program employee commute patterns are assessed, commuters who could potentially work closer to their homes are identified, and voluntary transfers to alternate shorter-commute sites are facilitated.
