On December 1, 2026, Commuter Connections will begin accepting employer nominations for its 30th 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.
Commuter Connections is pleased to feature new location-based categories for the first time including: Urban Core, Inner Ring, and Outer Ring. These new categories will allow employers in all parts of the region to bring their own unique perspective to their nominations.
If you know of an employer that offers such benefits and amenities that help to attract and retain employees, reduce the number of cars on roads, and improve worksite sustainability, please submit a nomination for the 2027 awards from December 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027.
