Last Friday, New Jersey Smart Workplaces (NJSW) were honored at Greater Mercer TMA’s Annual Meeting and Transportation Expo.

The NJSW program recognizes employers who demonstrate leadership by providing and promoting quality commuter benefits to their employees, therefore reducing congestion and improving air quality. Each of these Employers is doing great things to promote alternate transportation. Award levels are based on the scope and number of transportation activities offered to employees.
