    Capital COVID-19 Snapshot: Safe Return to Work The Greater Washington Partnership is about solutions and unity. Contents 03 Introduction 04 Capital COVID Snapshot 05 Employer Survey 13 Capital COVID Survey Transit Tracker 18 Conclusion 19 Survey and Transit Data Methodology Introduction The Greater Washington Partnership is about solutions and unity, bringing people, organizations, and jurisdictions together to make the Capital Region of Baltimore, Washington, and Richmond, the world’s best place to live, work, raise a family, and build a business. The Capital COVID Snapshot: Safe Return to Work, conducted in partnership with public agencies and business organizations throughout the region, is designed to increase regional information and data sharing, so employers, both large and small, can make more informed decisions about reopening and public agencies can better understand when employees are expected to return to their offices and worksites. In March 2020, the Capital Region issued stay-at-home orders due to the rapid spread of COVID-19. Employers quickly prepared to have a majority of their workforce work from home full-time if possible, while many in the region continued to serve on the front lines as healthcare workers, essential service providers, and researchers working on a vaccine. Six months later, many employers in our region are still unsure when and how to safely return their employees to worksites, limiting the public sector’s ability to efficiently and confidently meet the demand for many services, including public transportation. Furthermore, it is clear that low-income and minority communities are bearing a disproportionate health and economic burden due to the pandemic.

  • Washington Metropolitan Region Transportation Demand
    Item #3 [Type text] Page 1 FY15 Washington Reg. TDM Resource Guide & Strategic Mktg Plan Final Report 12-16-14 Page 2 FY15 Washington Reg. TDM Resource Guide & Strategic Mktg Plan Final Report 12-16-14 Page 3 BACKGROUND The Washington metropolitan region initiated its first formal transportation demand management efforts in the early 1970s with Commuter Club, which was established by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG), the General Services Administration, and the Greater Washington Board of Trade to provide basic ridematching for carpools and vanpools. In subsequent years, the program grew into a COG-coordinated network of local rideshare agencies, and in 1989, it became the Ride Finders Network which provided free information and computerized ride matching services to area residents seeking to join car or vanpools or locate appropriate transit arrangements and park-and-ride locations. In 1996, the regional network was renamed Commuter Connections. In 1997, Commuter Connections expanded its services to include regional telework assistance and resources, its first website, a regional Guaranteed Ride Home program, information on bicycling to work, InfoExpress commuter information kiosks, and free assistance to employers for the development and implementation of alternative commute programs and benefits. In 1998 Commuter Connections began to honor employers in the region through the Employer Recognition Awards program. In 2000, Commuter Connections rolled out Bike to Work Day as a regional entity, initially started as a DC based event by the Washington Area Bicyclist Association. In 2003, Commuter Connections expanded its marketing efforts through the implementation of a regional mass marketing measure. The purpose of the measure was to brand the Commuter Connections name as the umbrella organization for commuter transportation information in the Washington Metropolitan area and to subsequently increase the use of alternative forms of commuting.
