A distributed workforce has varying business travel needs, and this Fortune 500’s team of 14,000 employees is no exception. Many commute across the Bay Area’s nine counties every day, and frequently travel for work and attend corporate events late at night.
The Forbes-recognized Best Place to Work offers transportation solutions as diverse as its team’s travel needs—including 77 vanpools and two private ferries. Annual ridership for the corporate shuttle program exceeded 1.25M in 2017 alone.
Still, many employees often traveled out of policy—and many lived outside the parameters of established routes. Separate travel and transportation teams lacked the tools and support to drive employee engagement, ensure duty of care, and improve program savings.

The biotech organization recognized its opportunity to drive business forward through a managed ground transportation program.
“By improving the employee travel experience, we attract and retain top talent—and empower our workforce to produce their best work.”

According to the senior travel manager, Lyft Business was selected because of the cultural fit between the two companies.
“Both companies depend on the quality of our people to produce quality products.”
The company now offers ride credits for commuters during off-peak hours, and for employees traveling to company events. Frequent travelers use Business Profiles.

The travel manager anticipates higher employee engagement with the Lyft Business Rewards Program, which offers $5 of personal ride credit for every five business rides.
