Our solution is not just tailored to commuter program compliance, it is also an effective way to reduce carbon emissions, supporting ESG and Scope 3 reduction targets. Commuting to and from work falls within Category 7 of your Scope 3 emissions. For some companies, commuter emissions are a large portion of their Scope 3 emissions. We can realistically help reduce that number by 10-20%, but the sky is the limit, depending on your company's culture and employee adoption.
Using GHG protocol estimates we can estimate that each commuter can eliminate around 2 tons of CO₂ per year, or more. This is based on a 10-mile round trip commute 5 days per week, per year (5,200 miles).

The average business using this to comply with SOV rate reductions needs 28 bikes. Do the math and we're talking 56 tons of CO₂ per year. That's a volume equivalent to roughly 11.7 Olympic-sized swimming pools and the emissions equivalent to 36 households or 12 passenger vehicles for one year.
