Starting December 2025, Commuter Connections will begin accepting employer nominations for its 29th annual Commuter Connections Employer Awards program. The awards ceremony will recognize employers in the metropolitan Washington, DC region who have initiated or expanded programs that offer telework and/or facilitate the use of alternative commuting methods such as transit, carpooling/vanpooling and bicycling. Offering such programs, benefits, policies, and amenities help to attract and retain employees, reduce the number of cars on area roads, and provide for cleaner air. Employer nominations for the 2026 awards will be accepted December 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026. To see past employer winners, please visit
