The first-of-its-kind report highlighted findings from a
survey of 400+ HR professionals who have implemented, or are
interested in exploring, commuter benefits programs.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Jawnt, a transportation technology company that's
modernizing the commuter experience, unveiled its 2024 State of
Commuter Benefits Report this week at ACT's 38th Annual
International Conference in Denver.
The report, a first-of-its-kind resource in the transit &
commuter benefits space, explored the findings of a survey of 400+
HR professionals across a variety of industries. The survey was
designed to measure the baseline sentiment and experience of real
professionals managing employee benefits programs, with question
topics ranging from employer participation in commuter benefits
programs to the obstacles faced when implementing a program.
Key survey findings include:
- 83% of all survey respondents currently offer benefits to help
employees travel to work
- The most popular commuter benefits offered are public
transportation access, free on-site parking, and flexible debit
cards for transportation expenses.
- 56% of respondents with existing commuter benefits programs
found cost-savings to be the biggest value of the benefits.
- For employers with a commuter benefits program, the most
reported administration obstacle is the time it takes to answer
employee questions about the program (32%). The most reported
employee obstacle is difficulty using a benefits platform
(38%).
- When asked which benefits HR pros would be most excited to
offer employees in the next year, top responses included trip
planning for riders, carpool planning, and electric vehicle (EV)
charging.
"The only way to offer a best-in-class commuter benefits
experience is to genuinely understand our users—not just assume
their needs," said Jawnt Co-founder & CEO Jeff Stade. "Beyond collecting invaluable
data for transit & HR practitioners, this report offers insight
into the products and services that will help employers everywhere
improve their teams' commuter experiences."
Since launching its unified transit benefits platform in the
wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jawnt has helped more than 100,000
riders rebuild their relationship with transit through commuter
benefits offerings, including the Jawnt Pass and partner programs
like SEPTA Key Advantage in Philadelphia. Jawnt has been recognized for
its work locally as a winner of the 2024 Technical.ly ReaLIST
award, as well as nationally in the 2024 Stevie Awards for Great
Employers, in which Jawnt won Gold in the HR Tech Solutions
Provider category.

Wednesday, Aug 28 at 3pm EDT to review the report and answer
participant questions — you can register for the webinar here.
