St. John’s University is partnering with511NYRideshare
,a non-profit transportation management company that would help
coworkers pair up based on regions, in an effort to expand campus
sustainability. In teaming up with fellow employees by carpooling
to work, you can help cut the University’s greenhouse gas
emissions, improve local air quality and also improve your
commute.
The first 10 employees to complete the survey
receive a $50 Gift Card.
Our aim is to develop additional commuter benefit programs for
the St. John’s community to help meet environmental goals and
work/life needs. To help us better understand what transportation
challenges you face, we ask that you please complete a brief Commuter Survey that will take approximately
five minutes. Your answers and ideas are a key part of the process.
You can help us develop options and programs that will meet your
needs and improve current commuter benefits.
St. John’s University currently offers a pretax transportation
benefit that allows you to purchase mass transit and vanpool before
income taxes are applied. Up to $125 can be
deducted monthly pretax. We encourage you to take advantage of this
money saving benefit if you are not already enrolled by selecting
“I want money deducted from my paycheck to purchase transit passes”
in the Commuter Survey.
If you have any questions, please e-mail either Tom
Goldsmith at: goldsmit@stjohns.edu or
Roxanne Bryan at: bryanr@stjohns.edu
Prize Drawings will be done on March

Sincerely,
Tom Goldsmith
Director of Environmental and Energy Conservation
