Below are a few scenarios of Meadowlink clients who have found a better way. A better way to meet the challenges of identifying their transportation needs, developing transportation programs, implementing shuttle programs, as well as marketing and monitoring transportation service programs. These programs are identified, designed and implemented by working with each client. Meadowlink can help you develop a customized solution, just as we have helped so many others.

Verizon
Our Verizon Employee Commuter Services Program serves 7,600 employees at 30 sites. Meadowlink visits each site twice a year, provides a quarterly newsletter – Commuter Update, develops and maintains a series of 4 posters highlighting commuter issues and produces targeted brochures for Verizon employees.
The Verizon package includes the following:

Between 1997 and 2001 the number of participants in the GRH program increased from less than 100 to more than 500, carpools increased from about 40 to 140, vanpools to 14 and the number of people using public transit increased from about 50 to more than 400.
