The goal of the Get on Board program is to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in Tucson, AZ. Get on Board is run by Sun Tran, the transportation system in Tucson, and works with businesses to make commuting to work convenient and affordable for employees.

The program can benefit employers by enhancing their image, reducing their parking needs, earning a tax deduction, and increasing employee productivity. A company must select an employee to act as a transportation coordinator who will serve as a liaison between the company, co-workers, and Sun Tran. After a transportation coordinator has been selected, the company must survey employees to determine their current means of transportation and interest in participating in Get on Board. Employers can then choose one of four ways to participate: (1) sell passes on site, (2) subsidize some or all of the cost of a bus pass, (3) reimburse employees for their passes, or (4) administer tax benefits.

Sun Tran can also arrange for a transit representative to attend a transportation fair hosted by the company in order to help employees plan their commute. In addition, the Guaranteed RideHome Program ensures that participants of Get on Board are guaranteed a free taxi ride home in case of an emergency.

The goal of the Get on Board program is to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in Tucson, AZ.
