The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and its Commuter Connections program are accepting nominations for its annual employer awards. Winners will be recognized at an awards ceremony to be held in June of 2026 in Washington, DC. Nominations are open to all employers in the metropolitan Washington DC region (see shaded map areas for cities and counties included in DC, MD, and VA). All employers may apply whether private sector, non-profit, publicly traded, or government.
For nearly 30 years, the Commuter Connections Employer Awards program has recognized employers who have initiated or expanded programs that offer telework and/or facilitate the use of sustainable commuting methods such as transit, carpooling/vanpooling, and bicycling/walking. Employers 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 29th annual awards will be accepted December 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026.
