The literature review reveals several successful examples of employer-based fare programs. The purposes of these programs are to increase transit ridership and build support for transit throughout the community. Public-sector employers participate in many programs, but these programs have not been a particular focus of most assessments. Thus, the literature review supports one of the major reasons for this synthesis: to understand how to design employer fare programs that attract participation by public-sector employers. Chapters three and four present the results of a survey of transit agencies regarding employer-based fare programs for public employers. Survey results provide a snapshot of the state of the art as it exists today with regard to public employer participation in these programs. (Author/publisher)
