At the annual Diamond Awards reception, SANDAG recognizes organizations in the Employer Commuter program from across the San Diego region for their accomplishments in promoting sustainable commute choices in the workplace.
By offering their employees a variety of transportation options like vanpools, carpools, emergency ride home reimbursements, bike lockers, and more, organizations can earn points to receive recognition in one of four tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
Employers in any industry or workforce size are eligible to participate in the complimentary Employer Commuter Program to be recognized at the annual Diamond Awards reception. To learn more about setting up a commuter program at your organization, email sustainabletransportation@sandag.org.

We will also recognize several of our region’s “super commuters” like Javier, a dedicated vanpool driver who has been commuting with 14 of his colleagues for more than 30 years at Watkins Wellness.
