On April 21, 2022, Get There Oregon hosted a webinar with special guest, BWC program manager, Julie Bond.

Julie Bond discussed the BWC program, how it could help them increase employer participation, and about great resources such as the newly released Commuter Benefits Guide.

In January 2022 Get There Oregon launched an online survey conducted by DHM Research to gauge awareness, attitudes, and motivators among HR-related professionals across Oregon to enhance employee commute options programs and services.  The webinar included a summary of the results and how they may be used in employer TO programs.  The information was presented by Michelle Neiss, President, DHM Research and Kelly Bantle, Allegiant Strategies NW and Get There consultant.
