Join the EDC's Manufacturers Association of Florida’s Space Coast (MASC) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to learn about the statewide “reThink Your Commute” program designed to address challenges related to employee access to reliable transportation.

Improved access to transportation for your employees can have a big impact by reducing absenteeism, tardiness, and congested parking at your facility.

reThink Your Commute connects employees to available transportation options based on current location and intended drop-off site. Options may include SCAT bus service, ridesharing and commuter vanpools. Potential tax breaks are also available to companies who subsidize some of these options or allow their employees to pay for their fare on a pre-tax basis and FDOT provides an Emergency Ride Home program that makes it even easier for commuters to try another way to get to work.
