Help your tenants get their teams back on site,
and get your facilities jumping again.
A hands-free, stress-free commute makes your building more accessible — and easier to lease.
No shuttle to procure, no vendor to manage.
"Commuter shuttles" probably makes you picture a luxury coach one big company charters exclusively for its own people at great expense.
None of your tenants could justify that alone, and you're not going to take on that kind of risk. The commute is their employees' problem to solve anyway, right?
What if we solved it for your whole building, at no expense to you?
Commuter shuttles 2.0
In the prevailing model, every trip is paid for twice — once full of riders (hopefully), once empty going back for another run. That's why only the giants of Silicon Valley can afford it. The people building CommuteSource spent years running those very programs, and know them inside and out.
In this new model, your building becomes one node in a comprehensive network that includes transit. Those familiar long-haul coaches only run the corridors trains don't already serve — in both directions, without the empty trips. Smaller shuttles meet trains, ferries, and coaches at both ends for complete, door-to-door service. A building far from BART gets the connection it needs; a building on top of a station also gains, because we close the gaps at the other end, too — where people live.
The vehicles in our network serving your building aren't yours and aren't exclusive, so nobody carries the full cost of a service. Riders are our customers, not yours. You can subsidize actual rides at any amount if you choose to, but you're never on the hook for a fare — and you never pay for an empty seat.
See what we've already got on the commute to your building
Give us your building's address and we'll come back within a few days with a free analysis: where available data says the commutes to your building start, and how existing transit compares to driving for each — so you'll know exactly how big a lever this could be.
Only you can pool your tenants' demand
A network needs scale; your building could provide it. 60 people at one company can't justify a route — but bring ten such companies together at one address, and a route that was impossible for any one of them becomes real. Multi-building site? Even better.
All we need from you is promotion. Large enough employers need to comply with commuter benefits regulations anyway. Relieving that burden is a real value-add, and it's what we do: less overhead for your tenants and easier access to your building for their employees and guests.
The real answer comes from a survey
The numbers we've already got are helpful, but some are crude and dated. Every tenant in your building can have an employee commute survey at no cost. They send it to their team; we handle everything after that.
Who sees what: each tenant gets their own report. You get a building-wide summary across all of them, with no tenant named and no per-tenant numbers. Neither of you gets individual responses. Those rules — and the promise of a better commute — are why a tenant will run the survey and why their folks will answer it honestly.
What that's worth to your building
You can't move your building closer to BART
A building's accessibility was fixed the day it was built. It isn't anymore — and your leasing team can say so.
Already in a TMA?
More and more Bay Area cities require it. We work alongside TMAs, sharing our own aggregated demand data to help close their coverage gaps — better service for your tenants, at no cost to you.
Commuter benefits coordination, handled site-wide
Every tenant with 50 or more Bay Area employees must register with the Air District and name two commuter benefits coordinators. You can offer us as their second, on one agreement for the whole building. They still submit the registration and renewal themselves — a few minutes once a year — and you get a real amenity to lease with.
Your sponsorship stacks with your tenants'
You and an employer can subsidize the same ride, so your contribution goes further than it could on a route you paid for alone. And you pay per ride taken, never for an empty seat.
Already running a shuttle?
If it's only serving one address, half its trips are empty. Let us fill your bus, and our network will provide more coverage at less expense.
The commute is a tenancy decision
Tenants — potential and existing — consider how accessible your site is. An easy commute is a reason to sign and a reason to renew.
A hands-free, stress-free commute will make your Bay Area portfolio more accessible, more competitive, more valuable.
We're preparing to launch. In the meantime, give us an address — a building you own, manage, or occupy — and we'll come back within a few days with what our data shows about its accessibility; you'll see the difference we can make with no obligation.
Office and mixed-use only.
