Would carpooling really be a way forward for Business Transportation in Canada?

Large employers in most Canadian cities have transportation costs for their workers as one of their three biggest costs. Workers at a typical large business use a variety of ways to get to work, including their own cars, shuttle or bus services provided by the company, paid taxi services, and public transportation. Transportation costs have a direct effect on what is most important, final, and money-making, and transportation facilities have a direct effect on how engaged employees are. This is not a simple way to cut transportation costs, and if it's not done right, it could hurt employee engagement. Strangely, these kinds of companies haven't yet taken advantage of the chance to cut costs as much as possible by making the most of the value that comes from shared employee transportation and using the space in workers' private cars to hold or do something. So, the company hasn't taken full advantage of the chance to save money on transportation costs, and workers who use their own cars still have to pay the high costs that come with using a dedicated vehicle. What if the organization's main goal was to get as many people to work as possible by filling empty seats in workers' cars? [There are raised, flat surfaces that help with this, and one, Gomyway Canada, is listed at the end of this post for those who are interested.] Once there are no more ways to save money through ride-sharing, the next option may be to set aside and share company-provided transportation for the people who couldn't find a way to share. This could be given out quickly and energetically as needed based on data about demand that is happening or can be seen right away. When looked at more closely, ridesharing has these direct benefits: The company saves money on the cost of transportation for its employees. Workers who drive to work can see the value of getting their gas and maintenance costs back. It cuts costs for both the Passenger (the person who wants a ride) and the Rider (the person who wants to give a ride). Ride-sharing can be an alternative for workers who don't want to take a taxi, even if the worker pays for it instead of the company. Ride-sharing lets workers travel with other workers who would otherwise have to travel with a stranger (a cab driver). The first option is much safer than traveling with people you don't know. Increases employee engagement by giving them more chances to talk to their coworkers. Along the way, this helps create informal networks within the company and on project teams. It's easier to keep an employee who is engaged and has a lot of connections within the company. This has a positive effect on the number of employees who stay with the company.
