How does the Go Car Freeā¢ program work?
GoCarFree.org partners with organizations of all sizes to change SOV (single-occupant vehicle) driving behavior.
We create custom-made Go Car Free programs that (1) reduce the number of cars driving to and parking at your location, (2) alleviate traffic congestion, (3) lower the need for parking, (4) decrease pollution and improve air quality, and (5) help meet your sustainability and ESG goals.
Each program includes our Go Car Free online course, an eLearning module customized with multimedia content tailor-made for your organization ā including a welcome video message from your chief executive.
Our programs also provide one-on-one Go Car Freeā¢ coaching, discounts, incentives, prizes, and live events.
Who is it for?
Companies
Businesses spend a fortune to provide parking for employees. Some studies say one parking spot can cost up to $50,000. How much money could your business save if 50 or 100 or 500 employees went car free?
Government & Schools
Federal, state, and local governments ā including schools and community colleges ā are under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and increase sustainability. Joining the Go Car Freeā¢ program demonstrates your commitment to climate action.
Colleges & Universities
Colleges and Universities struggle to provide peak-demand parking for the influx of students who drive to campus. Donāt spend $15 million to build another parking garage, encourage your students to stop driving!
Nonprofits
Nonprofits need to control costs while also retaining staff. How would your employees like to get the equivalent of a $10,000 to $13,000 pay raise? Sign them up for the Go Car Free Course.
Employees & Students
Between high gas prices, rising housing costs, and inflation, employees and students are seeking creative ways to reduce expenses and save money. With the Go Car Free program they can save up to $1,000 every month. Ā
