Mayo Clinic recently received an award for being one of the "Best Workplaces for Commuters" during 2009–2010. The "Best Workplaces for Commuters" award is part of an innovative membership program that recognizes organizations that offer outstanding commuter benefits, such as:

• Free or low-cost bus passes
• Shuttle services
• Car pool programs
• Guaranteed rides home
• Bicycle parking

"Best Workplaces for Commuters" promotes transit, car pools, and teleworking as economically beneficial options to drive-alone commuting and demonstrates that these options provide value to workers, employers and the environment.
