pointA is pleased to announce that 10 organizations in Canada have been named as a Best Workplace for Commuters® (BWC™), a North American designation recognizing employers that lead the way in offering innovative and impactful commuter benefits. These organizations join over 800 organizations across North America committed to helping employees commute smarter, save money, and improve quality of life.
When organizations think about return on investment, the default lens is often financial. The return on a sustainable commuting program and the BWC designation recognizes that work organizations do isn’t just about numbers, it’s about ensuring that support for employees, climate goals and corporate leadership are incorporated into all aspects including how employees get to/from work.
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) announced late August that it was proposing fare capping for 2026. This would remove monthly transit passes and instead, rides would eventually become free after between 40 and 47 rides per month. This is being introduced at an opportune time, as many companies are implementing working mandates in person. Fare capping has been long used by other agencies.

At pointA, we help organizations gather and interpret commuter data to design programs that can make a real difference, measuring and then designing programs to reduce emissions in a tangible way. To do this, we start by working with organizations to understand their commuter patterns to determine the emissions baseline and identify gaps through a comprehensive commuter assessment and then, create targeted programs.
